Crown Victoria rim request
#303
Crown Vics on 1986 Sport old test mule track day ****.
1986 Sport. Long ago a track day car. Sat on the side of the house for almost 15 years, till my sons gave me a hard time, and wanted it resurrected.
Tokico Illuminas, and Eibach Progressive 1" drop springs on it.
Car is VERY gutted, no dash, no interior except for 2 factory seats, steering, and the factory gauges zip tied to the remains of the column.
Engine 13B 6-port, no factory anything of the original intake system. Worlds lighter. Engine compartment is.. sparse. Tiny lawn tractor battery.
Needless to say, the shocks are topped out.
WedsSport RS-5 wheels, 17” I think 17x8 and 17x9. But I am not sure (not at home) (they came carbon fiber dipped long ago)
235/45/17 Front
255/40/17 Rear
Bridgestone Grid II
Front 25.75 Height to the fender lip.
Rear 26.5 Height to the fender lip.
Crown Vic rims.
Fronts are single lip/dip/flare/low offset.
Rears are double lip/dip/flare/high offset.
Tires……..
215/35/16
Front 24.75 Height to the fender lip. (1 inch drop)
Rear 25 Height to the fender lip. (1.5 Inch drop)
Car sits a lot flatter..
Also has a lot more fender gap.
Its not TOO bad.. but for aesthetics, it really could use another inch removed from the ride height. Guess the test mule needs coil overs.
