Posted:6/22/2009 14:14 I am looking for some traditional 5 spoke mags or such for my 2003 Crown Vic PI. I ordered some fine looking black cragar wheels (V-5, Steel, Black, 16 in. x 7 in., 5 x 4.5 in. Bolt Circle, 4 in. Backspace), but they do not clear the larger brake caliper on the front wheels. Quite a disappointment. Incidently, those wheels are now for sale at a very reasonable price + shipping.

Posted:7/12/2009 10:32 Had the same problem on my 2003 CVP. Used after market spacers on the front. The 8.5" wide rims replaced the 7" stock wheels. The front tires protrude maybe 3/4"'s looking down from fender. I think they look great! My clearance was minimal and had to grind a little metal off caliper shields. God luck with that!
