16" wheels that leak

[krem]

I have a '96 Mark VIII with factory wheels that leak. Was wondering if any other Ford wheels would fit.

any 5x108 wheels should with the same offset. Look for Thunderbird and Taurus wheels

 

[slowmkviii]

why do you think the wheels leak did you run over a curb

Did you check the valve stems closely ? I have an issue with 2 of mine and am considering painting the inside of them to seal the pores.

steel wheels

No curbs hit. good valve stems. Got the car out of a farmers field for my high school kid (wow what a first car), got her running and stopping great. The aluminum rims are badly pitted on the inner surface and wont hold air after being cleaned up. We would like to find a set of cheap steel rims, spray them, and toss on some chrome lugs and bearing covers with trim rings.
That said, I just want to make sure the rims will clear the disc brakes that I rebuilt. They seem to be some pretty serious units especially the rears.
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!

The 5x108 pattern is not all that widely used. I'm not sure if you will find the style your looking for but who knows?

Like wood e said, taurus or thunderbird, also cougar, some volvos, jaguars, & I think maybe some of the mini vans. You could always get some adapters & use a totally different style wheel all together.

Good luck!
