Can i get rim adapters for an LS ??

[Throwback420]

I found a deal on craigslist but dont think the rims will fit. Can i buy adapters? if so where and how much ?? also will the rims stick out and look funny if so ? I want it to look flush

here is the description and pics

....19 inch Foose wheels with high performance ZR rated Vredestein tires.... 2 of the tires are 235/35/19 and have about 90-95% tread left.... The other 2 are 265/30/19 and have about 75-80% tread left. The bolt pattern is 5 x 112 and they will fit all Mercedes models, some Volkswagen and Audi models and the Chrysler Crossfire....

If the offset is high enough, yes, without the offset, can't tell

He's going to have to measure them to make a sale.

all this guy knows is they were on a Mercedes before

measure them how?

Then he needs to take them to a good shop which sells wheels, have the offset measured, and then communicate back to you with the results.

It should say "ET xx" on the back side of the rim. The "xx" would be a number. That's the offset.

let put it this way, the right wheel with the right adapter looks great, however any of the wrong wheels with any of the wrong adapters could look completely terrible

whats the offset that i need or that would go with a 2002 lincoln ls v8

the stock offset is +60 ... you can go as low as +38 depending on the tire you may rub

That's +38 WITHOUT any kind of spacers, by the way. +38 with spacers and you're gonna have wheels sticking out big time.

You need the wheel to be at least a 58+ offset. Most adaptors subtract 20 from the offset. So if the wheel was a 58+ then when the adapter is added it becomes a 38offset which is the lowest you want to go on the ls. If that makes sense.

I have stock 5 spoke with a 60+ offset with a 25mm spacer, which puts it at 35+ offset and I would say its at the absolute maximum.

Glad to hear you still have them. I hadn't seen you around here in awhile.

To OP. If you need any info on adapters look through my old threads. I have bought more then one pair of custom hub/wheel centric adapters. My RR's are currently using a set with no issues at all.

I am thinking of getting -60 offset for the ultimate deep dish....
