Can anyone tell me if I can put 15 inch wheels on my Crown Vic. The factory size is 16inch, so you would think I can as long as i get the tire around the same diameter. 2 different rim shops here in town are telling me 2 different answers. I want keystone klassics but they don't make them bigger than 15in. anyone help me out??

Go to www.crownvic.net..There is a write-up about tire and wheel sizes

I can tell you that going to a smaller diameter wheel will force you to go to a larger sidewall aspect tire (i.e., from a 215/70r16 to 225/80r15) which will look like skinny tires. That's bad for traction, particularly in the rain.

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
