Alright, I've been looking around for a while now and just thought i'd see if someone on here knew something. I am needing to just get some cheap oem wheels with decent widths in 16's because i just went 5 lug, I know crown vic meshies will work and it seems to be that they are 16X7 +0, but I was told that they are 16x8 however so I just wanted to see if anyone on here knew for sure, thanks guys

You know Dee?

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-26-2009, 01:57 PM

Yeah they come in a lot of different sizes.

My friend was using vic steelies he got from a Taxi Cab Depot. LOL.

5t341tH · 07-26-2009, 02:18 PM

get 300zx wheels. they are cheap and sizing isnt too bad

DreamN · 07-26-2009, 02:24 PM

The Ford mesh wheels that are commonly used are from HPP (High Performance Package) equipped Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. There are two versions, but both are the same size; 16x7 +20. Difference is the is a slight change in design.

I picked up a set of 5 lug SE rims for $80 on craigslist, for the same purpose. You might want to see if you can find a set of those.

Why? For the same price, or close, you can have .5" more width and -20 less offset.

DreamN · 07-26-2009, 04:04 PM

Plus better styling. They're truly great wheels for the money.

I have a set of se's I just wanted something wider then then a 6.5 as well as a lower offset

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-26-2009, 05:30 PM

Stock S14 SE wheels are gay unless you just finished a 5 lug swap.

Crown wheels are like 2 steps above S14 SE wheels on broke 5 lug upgrade.

ayuaddict · 07-26-2009, 05:31 PM

they are actually 16x7 +4.6

yea, the offset is positive four and six tenths, just wanted to clear that up.

cbh148 · 06-17-2011, 10:22 PM

Old thread, I know, but I'm trying to find info about these rims. I think they look great (like SSR style yo) and I plan on getting a set since I just went 5 lug.

Do these look like they have spacers behind them? I gotta know, because I want this look.

Steinkrunk · 06-17-2011, 10:41 PM

Just so you know:

crown vics have a ~70.5mm hub centerbore and 240sx's have 66.1 so a hubcentric ring may be necessary to prevent wheel balance issues

kalypso123 · 06-17-2011, 10:44 PM

these have been cool for a while.

low cars (on a budget) fair well with these.

thanks for the correction. I remember copying it from a crown vic forum as I didn't know the offset by heart.

Mishkin_707 · 06-18-2011, 01:10 AM

well thats funny because i've been thinking about those rims for like a month, anyone have any other pics of crown vic meshies on an S13??

cbh148 post wasnt enough for you? its a 240....with mesh wheels. done.

Zero-Offset · 06-18-2011, 02:24 AM

funny shit. i've been pondering these as spares once i go 5 lug. 16 inch tires are practically given away too.

found this link if you want a new set. not amazingly cheap, but a BUTT LOAD better than sportmax rota etc for the price.

So I'd need hub centric rings with ^those^ inner/outer diameters? I just want to make sure I order the right rings the first time.

Taken from Crownvic.net:

In Theory the wheels will fit and if you get a hub-centric ring 66.06mm ID and 70.5mm OD, you'll have less chance of vibration. Only thing is the offset may get you and the rims may stick out too far. I'm not sure what a stock 240SX's offset is.

So I'm guessing these rims don't use "acorn" or "conical" style lug nuts which would center the wheel by the lugs?

Exactly what I have in mind!

Those are the ones I'll probably end up buying. I've asked a bunch of locals with Crown Vics to sell theirs but every time they go to say no, their dentures fall out.

I've even had wanted ads up in 3 cities on Craigslist trying to get a set but the one caller I got wanted like $600. Like hell Montel.

Still needing to know if I'm seeing spacers around the hub nuts in those pics I posted earlier!

drivens13 · 06-18-2011, 08:47 PM

Goggle it.

My guess on the picture above is no spacers.just big tires to fill out.225's would be my guess.
Ohh and i believe you can also puchase these wheel from aftermarket part companys like (keystone).
The wheels are decently light but ofcoarse do not compare to the real deal SSR's

Yeah I'm hoping I don't need spacers to achieve that look. Those tires are 205/50's all around.

It almost seems like the caps that go over the hub nuts stick out of these rims a little less, which could imply that there's a spacer. But I guess it could also mean the hole in the rim is deeper. I'm comparing it to a steely, which has a LOT of hub nut cap sticking out, but I guess since it's steel then it's thin.

Renelovesnike · 06-19-2011, 05:12 PM

Deff digging the crown vic's/gran marquise but i think the price is starting to skyrocket just like starion rears :'(

seems like alot of people with slamed mini trucks are jumping on theze and starion rears....

they look dope tho

Krusty_s13 · 06-19-2011, 11:26 PM

damn that looks good.

cbh148 · 07-02-2011, 10:13 AM

Bought mine brand new off eBay and put tires on 2 of them. Now to wrap up the others and get them on the car. These look really good in person too!

I recommended these wheels to a few ppl, they thought i was on acid or some shit till they saw actual pics of them, deffinately a nice super low budget wheel and worth the money

Gar9854 · 11-20-2011, 08:09 PM
