Yes, they will fit. I was looking into getting these wheels in titanium for my LS, they come off the Focus ST.

where did you find replicas

I'm going with the black cause my ls is the deep wedge wood blue. But that's good to know I don't have to mod anything.

where did you find replicas

I googled lincoln ls rims and these showed up first. Here's the link to them.

Good find, they have them in silver too... maybe I'll grab a set and dip them Anthracite.

That would be a nice color. I have the factory silver mags on it now. And was thinking of having them dipped to that color.

not seeing them on an LS... maybe someone could photoshop

Yea you should be able to use any 2012+ focus wheels, 2013+ mkz and fusion wheels, 2013+ escape wheels, and 2015+ mkc wheels.

 

[Ranchero50]

I wonder if they spec out for RWD cars? I never understood what would be the difference other than the RWD having a lot more side load on the front wheels vs. the FWD pulling the car around corners.

You guys must have been sleeping during search class.

Lol, what?

 

[Tric]

Nice find, I've been trying to find a used set reasonably priced. I might just have to save up some extra pennies and get me a set.

 

[Ranchero50]

Lol, what?

Rear Wheel Drive vs. Front Wheel Drive. I'm not sure if it's still the same, but for a long time wheels that were for or from a light front wheel drive car were not recommended for a heavier rear wheel drive car. I always figured it was due to the rear wheel drive putting a harder load on the front wheels in a hard turn under acceleration.

 

[FDR]

I thought FWD cars tended to need higher offsets due to cramming brakes, an engine, a transmission, CV shafts, and the suspension all between the wheels. Each part just pushes the brakes further out, so to keep the track width reasonable, the wheels are deeper. The LS has a peculiar high offset that resembles fwd cars. I would guess the double wishbone suspension is the reason for that. Most cars have MacPherson style struts, which tend to be more compact and get used in fwd applications. I could be totally wrong but that's my understanding...

I considered these a few months ago.i have a shopped picture around here somewhere...

its all about the offset and weight difference.

the big thing about the offset is

I thought FWD cars tended to need higher offsets due to cramming brakes, an engine, a transmission, CV shafts, and the suspension all between the wheels...

and of course a wheel designed for a vehicle that weighs one ton, shouldn't be used on a car that weighs two tons...

you wouldn't want to put a four lug escort tire from a car with 100ftlb of torque on a super duty with 800ftlb of torque, it would rip them apart... it doesn't have anything to do with the the way the forces act because of which whee is spinning.

Can you look around to find it or point us in a general direction, so we can help find it would like to see how the look on the vehicle.

It's a very crappy job but it gives you an idea..

That's good enough for me. I'm sold on them in the black. They will blend perfect with the wedge wood blue.

I do like the look but they just aren't wide enough for my needs

 

[Blueberryyum02]

For some odd reason I didn't get into the 20 and up rim fad.
To me it takes away from the look of the car. Plus I hate when I see people with 24inch rims on a stock suspension, and the wheels look like they pigeon toed, and knock kneed.

And a summer later they went broke and had to sell the rims and put the factory ones back on and still have the lift kit in place. Or they get a flat and have to ride on three 24,s and stock 16 cause they can't afford the rubber. I want some 18's to complement the look of the car. With out sacrificing handling and suspension, to say hey look I got twenty fours

Plus I'll sleep better at night. Cause the thieves will not look twice at my stock ford focus rims. Lol

One word of caution in using Focus of Fusion wheels on an LS - load rating. Just because is bolts up, has the right offset and may even be hubcentric doesn't mean that a wheel designed for a 2800-3200 lbs car will be safe on a 3800-4000 lbs car. Check the load rating info cast in the rim on the back side and compare that with the numbers on the factory LS rims.
