There was a guy running a set for drag racing on the TeamFC3S website before Dave, i remember him posting them up for sale. Let me try to dig it up, not sure if he had to run spacers or what.

Here it is: http://forum.teamfc3s.org/showthread...highlight=drag

It says they were widened to 8.5", but they fit perfectly, so not sure how they would fit without widening (aka not sure which way they went.)

But as far as it seems, they should work.

yeah they're a pretty nice looking wheel too.

I'm not sure how similar the offset is but I'd put money on them fitting.

They just may not be hub centric. I'm presuming the bore must be at least large enough, although it's possible since the drag guy widened the Ford rims and narrowed the BBS vert ones, that a little bore machining would have been a small matter. The Town Car rims in the link are 15", as are the Crown Vic meshies - which is a similar, but different rim, I think. I've noticed them at the salvage yard and wondered myself.

They do fit, a friend of mine used them for winter rims. He found them in a scrap yard for like 50$.

My towncar had 16" meshies that looked the same as the crown vic/grand marquis ones.
so maybe there is two sizes?
