I hope they do fit because I just bought a set. i know they make them in 15's and 16's. I got the 16X7. I should be good right? BTW I couldn't find any Regals that come with mesh wheels.
I have a set of Mercury Maruder 18"s on mine. Fit great. Had to put spacers to move them out a bit. Believe the offset was +40
check it out............. not sure on the offset but these are mounted and runnin 205/55/16 tires....... look great......... cant wait to see this thing dropped a couple more inches..... ill get better shots in the daytime. By alisn4x4 at 2011-02-02 By alisn4x4 at 2011-02-02
These look sick, I really wanded network and back a number of forums. 15x70 should tuck in your car like a year.

cranked torsions up front...... removed bumpstops....... 3 inch blocks and 700lb bike drop in the back i think in order to end up at this height it will take around a 5-6 inch drop on each end from stock.
seen a set of these wheels on craigslist off a mercury marquis....the dish was the same silver as the face(painted). Do the lips need to be stripped and polished to get this look? or, do some of these wheels come bare aluminum already? any info would be helpful, thanks!!
When i got mine off a crown vic, they were painted silver in the middle and raw aluminum lip(most likely cleared?).
yeah, thats what most i have seen too. read online ppl stripping lips and polishing. and i assumed it was clear, not silver paint like these....hmmm. i wonder if these would be same, but strip paint and then polish? idk, if anybody else came across or seen anybody do this style. been looking for these wheels forever, finally find them and they are not quite the ones...arghh my luck lol
Just so you guys know, there are three different "versions" of these 16" wheels.... The Crown Victoria version has a double stepped lip, and a lower offset (more poke). The mesh "spokes" are made to look like they overlap, and the star pattern around the lugs in the middle has a straight solid border. There are two different Lincoln versions, from the Grand Marquis or Towncar, maybe the MKVII. One version (V1) has a single stepped lip, higher offset (less poke). The other version (V2) has a double stepped lip like the crown vic, and a lower offset (more poke). The mesh "spokes" are FLAT, they look more like ENKEI 92's, and the star pattern around the lugs in the middle has a jagged edge. I ended up getting the Lincoln version, two of each, so I can have a staggered set. On my '78, the rear hubs are tucked further under the bed, so both front and back will be flush with the fenders, and the rear wheels will have more lip. Good luck with your search!! PICS ATTACHED
