View attachment 571Just wondering if these will fit? And what size tire should I look at?


Saleen SpeedStar look-alike aftermarket chrome 18x9" wheel with proper backspacing and 5 x 4.25" bolt pattern to fit the '89-97 Tbirds/Cougars and the '93-98 Mark VIII. No modifications required to run this wheel.

You are purchasing the chrome finish. 36mm Offset. I recommend any tire that is approximately 26.6" tall.

ANYBODY?

What's the bolt battern and offset??

 

[J.L.Gordon]

5 x 4.25 36 offset.

If it fits a T-bird it should fit a Taurus.

I'm worried about the width,and what size tire I can get on the car.

16x6 slicers and 215/55-16 for the stock with a 43mm offset, 18x9 and 235/40-18 for the new wheels and tires with a 36mm offset. At least according to this it sticks out a little over half an inch and 4mm further in. Can probably go with bigger tires, I'm sure some others can ring in with other sizes to choose from.

A 18x9 with a 36mm Offset MIGHT work up front. Good luck with the rears however. If it does not rub the strut, it will rub the fender, Guaranteed.

Don't give up. If you want the wheel, use spacers to get it off the strut and/or roll the fender to get it off the fender.
