60mm offset wheels + SHO, not good eh?

[Deaks2]

Hi everyone,

I can get a great deal on Jaguar S-Type and Lincoln LS wheels, both sharing the SHO's 5x108mm bolt pattern.

Problem is these wheels have a 60mm offset. What can be done to get these wheels on my car? Do they make adapters? Also how badly will handling and steering go down the *******? Cause if it's too bad then I will find some Gen3 wheels or another set of slicers...

You will eat through your wheel bearings like there's no tomorrow. Offset wheels are not a good idea.

im pretty sure 60 is too too much. i bought a set of 17"s off ebay for $500, may sell. lemme know.

You'd need a set of 20-25mm wheel spacers to get them to fit in the wheel wells properly. Quality spacers are not cheap and they put extra stress on wheel bearings, wheel studs and other suspension components.

not all are 60mm, some are 40mm. The new thunderbird's wheels are 40mm, as are the 16'' Jaguar S Type Wheels.
