    Wheel Fit Question

    Are the OEM wheels off of a 1986 Lincoln Continental the same bolt pattern and offset as a late 80's Crown Vic/Grand Marq/Towncar? Basically, I'm asking if they will interchange without any problems.

    bolt pattern yes, offset no. The Conti wheels will sit inward on a Vic. Not a problem in the back, but up front the sidewall of the tire will probably rub the edge of the upper control arm, which will eventually rip through the side of the tire. If you put a spacer up front, they work.

        Thanks very much for the info, guys. I appreciate it.

        Sounds like the offset would be particularly problematic in my case, since I'm running 225/70R15's.
