Wheel Width

[Barber Greg]

Can anyone tell me if a 9.5 wheel with 255/40R 18 will fit on the back of a Mark VIII. My car is not lowered I'm not sure of the offset but the wheels came off a Lincoln LS. The fronts are 245/45R 18 on 8.5 wheels will these also fit ? I'm not sure what rolling the fender means or cutting but I'm guessing it's done to make room so nothing rubs.

Yes and yes and no fender rolling should be required.

I agree that no fender rolling should be required. LS's usually have a more positive offset than the Marks, so the wheels may sit further into the wheel well than you want. At the same time, with a 9.5" wheel, you may run into problems with the wheels rubbing on the inside of the wheel well, or possibly the sway bar.

I recommend test-fitting them first.
