Lincoln LS Lug Pattern & Wheel Offset

[dunndarryn]

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2000 Lincoln LS V8, I need a spare tire immediately until I can buy a new rim and someone on Craigslist has one for a 1997 Ford Taurus Wagon. Will it fit my LS?

Here's the ad link. Thanks!

First of all, a donut should not be put on this car, if it where a compatible option it would have come with one.

You need to get this repaired as soon as possible.

pretty sure it did. full size spare was possibly an option? my moms 2000 has a full size spare, but i know this is not always the case for later model years.

I have a full size, and thought they all came with them. I would not by a used donut tire, nor put a donut on a full size vehicle. Its all bad.

Rockin' the donut in my trunk. You can find an LS wheel that would be spare worthy on eBay.

Donuts were standard, full size were options. Except 2000's, which came with full size. The full size rims are hard to find but pop up on ebay every now and then. Also note that "full size" means 16".

My main heartache on donuts is they're impossible to find new tires, so once it's used or explodes, you're SOL. Back to the junkyard and hope you find something in good shape.
And for limping home from the side of the road, they're fine. Don't go on the highway, don't use them for more than a few miles. Better than driving on a flat or getting towed.

My 2000 has a space saver; AKA doughnut.
