Mark VIII wheel bolt pattern

[Reaper]

Anyone know if LS wheels will fit the mark VIII hub bolt pattern?

Thanks.

Yes, but they sink in too much and look funny. Spacers are needed.

I think these are LS wheels but not positive. It's the only pic I have of this car.

I think those might be the early 00's thunderbird wheel. The ls has a similiar wheel though. Not sure.

This was a car that I was going to go look at and possibly buy about 2 years ago and it does seem like the ad did mention Thunderbird wheels being on it but I never got a response from him anyway. He had it listed cheap too and I was about to be all over it but I guess it sold fast. I wanna say he had it listed for $1800, maybe less. I never personally saw it but I do remember Thunderbird being mentioned so, you are most likely dead on with that guess. I forgot about that until you brought it up.

if those are late model bird wheels, then they have the exact same size and offset as LS wheels. they share the same platform and such.

Well there ya have it. Chris knows his offsets and sizes better than most people on LVC and .org combined. I just wished I could have gotten better pics and closer pics of the car but it was all he had on the ad. I asked for more but he never responded. I even told him I was coming with cash in hand to get it but he never responded. I think it looks good but hard to tell if they are sunk in too far with the pic I have of it.

the fronts would almost certainly have to be spaced out...

Yes those are for sure 02 and later Thunderbird wheels..used to see some guys with mn12 Thunderbirds put them on..but I don't know about spacers..I'd assume you would need them considering the backspacing..I think they're like 60mm offset and 17x17.5

In a small way I sort of want one of those.... but with a little hotter of an engine under the hood... and a 5 or 6 speed
