MKS wheels on a Mark VIII?

[fbird18]

Hey guys, I don't have a Mark but my buddy does. We saw some killer 10 spoke 19in wheels on a MKS at the dealer and we were wondering if those wheels would fit on a 98 Mark VIII. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Find out what the bolt pattern on the MKS is. Then, you'll have to make sure the backspacing is correct.

Any dealership can tell you this info. We're too broke and poor to afford MKS's.

You mean these?

The bolt pattern on the MKS 5 x 4.5, so you'd have to do a hub swap.

Sucks the towncars have the same bolt pattern as a mustang and mks but the ls and mark viii guys got slim pickings!

including Continental guys too

Damn Pete, you are everywhere. Don't you work?

Thems the ones though. The outsides are a powder coated grey/silver color and the inside spokes are a powder coated gun metal. Very cool looking.

So if he swapped to mustang hubs, those would fit?

Those center caps in the 19's look like they would fit the 10 spokes... and the cap looks sweet!

Thats because TC'S ROCK.

Depending on offset, yes. Of course, you'd have to get new rotors to match up to the hubs.

 

[Frogman]

So the mark VIII rotors won't fit? What's an offset?

His next questions.

Ohhh...boy.....

 

[Frogman]

Oh, I'll be nice.

 

[pepperman]

Oh, I'll be nice.

Yeah Right.

 

[Frogman]

I promise, Pepp. I will not annoy him. Wouldn't want this thread deleted as well.

I guess I'm a dumbass for not know anything about a Mark. Sorry... Dirrrrrr....what's a rotor???

 

[pektel]

offset on the MKS wheels are 44mm

I rest my case! LMAO

thank you for playing along.

I'll try to fit some on my mark soon and see how they look. I've been thinking about trying them on for a while now.

Could you measure one of the center caps for me?

they're the same size as my svt caps. I think they're too big for 10 spokes...

 

[kustomizingkid]

Damn.... those caps looked really nice.
