I have 1998 Grand Marque with the road handler package. It has different tires and the real nice steel wheels. I am looking at a 2011 Marquie and would like to swap the wheels. What are thoughts and would it have an effect on anything?

Are you looking to take the wheels from the 2011 and put them on the '98 or take the wheels from the '98 and put them on a 2011?
You can do both with different results.
- The 2011 wheels can be used on a '98 with spacers.
- The '98 wheels can be used on the 2011 but will stick out due to different offset.

There is a wheel tire writeup at www.crownvic.net which should help with figuring about tires
swapping.

But most wheels up to -02 will not fit the +03 without sticking out because of the offsets.

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
