Crown Vic Mesh on FB
Not sure if anyone else has done this yet but I grabbed a set of Crown Victoria HPP wheels for a good price and here are the results... Going to be completely refinishing them during the winter but they fit amazing. 16x7 with 0 offset running 205/45/16's

Looks great. I am planning on using the same wheels on my project that I unfortunately haven't touched in some time. I actually sold a set that I had for a while, and now have another set waiting for me to get off my ***.
I was a little worried about the offset but it looks perfect in that pic.
Do you have any more photos from different angles or distance?

Looks awesome. Your car is also clean!
I assume this is made possible via the 5lug swap with that guys parts from London?
Did you just decide to remove the side trim?
It's great having a local FB parts dealer haha

Thanks for the added photos!
Looks like it might be close to rubbing in the rear and you have dialed in some negative camber in the front.
What's your suspension set up? I planned on using an FC subframe swap and GSL-SE rear with re-drilled axles.

The car has come up about a quarter inch since those photos. The shots of the back are how it's sitting now. Zero rub at all, the camber was mostly just to see how far I could tuck the front wheel, it's set a little less extreme now. Front I'm running Techno Toy Tuning front coilovers with 200lb springs on T3 camber plates and roll centre blocks with Tokico Illumina MR2 race inserts and a Re-Speed BBK with Turbo II calipers. Rear is a GSL-SE swap with Moser 5 bolt axles and Re-Speed coilovers on 150lb springs with Tokico Illumina shocks and Turbo II calipers. Car feels very planted, the entire setup is adjustable so I can raise it or lower it as I please and change the firmness of the shocks. The wheels feel like they were made for this chassis. I didn't even have to roll the fenders or anything, the only thing I had to do was run a 5mm spacer up front to clear the huge calipers.

You're correct, it's the Re-Speed brake kit but they don't make them anymore so I found a used rear kit and bought a re-made new kit for the front from KansasCityREPU. I started shaving the trim on the driver side, still have to finish the passenger side. It took like 8 hours to do so I'm being lazy haha

Thanks for posting the specs on your suspension.
I think I may have a problem using these wheels with my FC subframe swap. Most of the guys that have done it say it's a little wider than FB. I guess I'll find when/if I ever get around to it.
