Wow, those look nice. Did you get them from a salvage yard? Any rubbing issues? Is the speedo off? How did you do the center caps with a Lincoln emblem?

These wheels fit PERFECT, no rubbing, nothing. Everything is like OEM lincoln wheels.

Looks sick man, nice choice on wheels, more like one of the best choices on wheels.

I could not find them from any local salvage yards. There are NO rubbing b/c the S type R is on the same platform as the LS the and the speedo is as it was. The emblems are from the 02 Lincoln LS sport 17in wheels. I paid $50 for a set of 4 from Lincoln but I have a contact that gives me a pretty big discount.

The tires came with the wheels and the rear ones are 275/35/18. Didnt you go with the 285/30/18?

I have a pair of 275/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires with 75% tread left for $170 shipped if youre interested. They would fill out that back wheel well a bit more.

How much do you think it will slow my speedo. down they are 8/10ths of an inch larger in diameter

Not enough for you to notice.
So far I have run these sizes on my 18's
265/35 rear
275/40 rear
285/35 rear
255/40 front only

And these sizes on my 19's
255/40 rear
245/40 all around
245/35 front only

And these on my factory 17's
235/50 all around
245/45 all around
255/45 all around

With any of these combinations, You will not get much of a speedo difference unless you are cruising along at the 100mph+ mark. And even then its probably a 3-5mph difference.
