Firebird mesh on Fc?

I'm pretty sure i've seen it beforee





16*8's

the rears have offset 20+

and the fronts have 0 offset


the tricky thing about them that i dont understand is the bolt pattern.

5x120?

is their a conversion to make them fit a 5x114?

i am very interested
thank you

The Crown Vic, and Mark VII mesh rims have the same bolt pattern as our cars, I forget what the offsets are on each. I think the Mark rims are around +25, and the Vic are around +10. Both of them are 16x7.

You could probably find an adapter, but it'll be at least an inch thick or so, and that'll push the rims out way too far to fit properly. At 20mm they're already on the too low side, and with a 1" spacer that's about a -5mm offset. I think with the Crown Vic rims they don't clear the calipers and need spacers anyway, so they're not such a great option really.

The 16x7 Lincoln Mark VII wheels need a 5mm spacer to clear the front calipers. The 15x6.5 Crown Vic wheels are identical to the factory vert wheels.

would having a spacer in the front make the front wheels stick out more than the rear? this is a cool swap and im thinking about doing it. but i doubt the Ford rims are lighter than my 16" enkie's
