Lug Pattern?

[Angel Silhouette]

I know our Marks have a 5x4.25 (5x108) pattern now, but is it possible to change that? I would love it if I had a 5x4.5 pattern because there are so many more wheel choices (had my eye on a couple of sets, anthracite and black with a machined lip)

you would have to do a mustang hub swap, ive thought about it but its a bit too pricey to do right now

94+ mustang front hubs ( i think it went to 01)

99 cobra rear hubs.

might as well get cobra front and rear brakes too.

and rear wheel bearings, removing the rear hubs will destroy the bearings 99% of the time

is it the same as the LS? I saw a Mark VIII on you tube that had LS rims on the front?!?!

 

[vr4]

LS is 5x4.5

 

[mespock]

LS is 5x4.5

I thought the LS and Mark VIII were interchangable? Both with 5 x 4.25? So I'm wrong.

Interesting...These guys have a chart that shows the LS and Mark VIII with the exact same info.

and... according to this, we have the same lug pattern as the Jaguar S-type and Ferrari 350. (5x108mm, offset not withstanding)

we do have the same offset as some of the jaguars i know that for a fact. When i bought my rims for the lincoln they also stated that they could be used on the jaguars.

ill have to check again then. last time i measured the LS wheels i got 5x4.5


ill check next time i have 1 off.

 

[torquemonkey]

Ok fellow enthusiasts, now what spacer is needed to get the proper offset on the LS wheels, so they will fit on a Mark VIII?

Now that I wrote that, it would seem that the difference between offsets would be the answer.

LS is 5x4.5

no ls are 5x4.25 or 5x108m same as markviii
