I have 4 brand new crown vic police interceptor steelies. 17x7.5 with 70.5mm centerbore. Definately need hub rings... If my math is correct. I have 6.5 in backspacing. I figured my offset is 2.25in. Which translates to roughly +57mm. Anyone know if these are going to have rubbing issues? Im going to mock one up tomorrow but i have to have the tires dismounted first... I dont want to buy new tires if im going to have issues... Any help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

That amount of offset/backspace, it sounds like you would have issues. but its only a 7.5" wide so who knows. Have you mounted them on and turned the wheel to see?

 

Going to do that tomorrow. Have to get the tires that are on the rims now dismounted first... They have 235 55 17's on them right now...

 

Really depends on what tire size you go with bro

 

you will have rubbing i5mm spacer on the front issues. I have some 16x7.5 et50mm and with a it barely clears the the a arms and the grease fitting for the balljoint

 

isn't +57mm offset pretty high like FWD?

 

There was a guy in Florida tht had those on his bagged 89-95 reg can. On my 300 steelies I have a 215/45/17

 

I was gonna run 215 50 17 to keep the same diameter for speedometer and whatnot. Gonna testfit 'em today and figure it out...

 

So I finally got around to test fitting these wheels on my truck. I have a few pics. Wondering what the general concensus is... On with the pics... Turned all the way right there are no issues but to the left just before the lock it hits the strut rod. I dont have any tires yet...Wanted opinions before i buy any...

 

Here is a pic... From mounting pad to inner flange... Exact measurement is 6.25' (i had tires on 'em b4)
