GO to www.crownvic.net, and search for wheels. There is a thread about all the wheels that will and won't fit.
Mostly anything up to -02 FACTORY wheels will fit. Any competent tire/wheel shop will know what to do,

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.
1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.
13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane
I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter
.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

Thanks! I have looked in that section,maybe I have not seen all of the posts, but it sounds like people are using 1.25-1.5 spacers. That dosnt sound safe, have you heard otherwise?

I have 02 mustang bullit wheels on my 02 interceptor, tires were very close to the ball joints, so i used .25 spacers and they fit fine.

In most cases it is only 1/4 inch spacer that you need. Unless you really have a WIDE tire.
Right now I'm running 9" X 19" Niche wheels and 245/45R19Z tires with no problems. I have tried Bullit 8" x 18" with no problems.
