HELP! will these 18" asa wheels fit my lincoln ls?

[bluejet]

I believe these are the asa jh9's? Anyways can you tell if these will fit? Can't ask the person the bolt pattern for another 2 days.

Not without knowing the bolt pattern........ Or offset...........

+1. They made those in multiple bolt patterns and offsets.

Tire rack is a good source of info for stuff like this.

so I talked to the guy that has them and he says he has no idea of the bolt pattern, but he says I can try one of them on to see if they fit. Problem is, my lincoln is unable to drive as it's under repairs and the location to where the wheels are is about 45 minutes away. So how would I be able to determine if these wheels would be able to fit? Do I bring in a tape measure or something?

The LS wheels use 5 lugs on a 4.25 inch or 108mm bolt circle. The standard LS wheels have a high positive offset. Wheel studs are 12 mm. The OE wheels are "hub centric" (designed to be centered on the axle hub using the wheel's center hole). The OE center hole is 63.4 mm. A high positive offset is what is often found on front wheel drive cars (H = High Positive or FWD (Front Wheel Drive) typically +45,40,35 offsets). I believe the LS used a +35mm offset. Wheels designed for rear wheel drive cars would likely require an adapter to work on the LS. These are often available on Ebay.

The offset on the LS is 60mm. The higher the number the higher the offset. Wheel width also figures in. There are numerous online calculators to help, just search google.
