Test Fit

[driller]

I found these wheels and tires in the garage and decided to test fit them on the Town Car.

They are 18x9 Chrome FR500s with 255/45-18 Nitto 555s.

The stock wheels are 225/60-17 with Michelin tires.

What do you think?

You should bring it to Carlisle like that. You can register it as a Shelby Town Car!

Exactly what I was thinking!

I told the Mrs. she could 'borrow' them for Carlisle. I think they fit rather well. I will test fit the rear to make sure but I see no fitment issues whatsoever and think they look suprisingly good on the Town Car.

I love nitto's. Those wheel are awesome too

Nice wheels but it's hard to judge how they look on the car without a full photo of the car.

Next test fit, I'll put all 4 on and test drive it to the car wash and afterwards take some pics.

Gotta put some Lincoln stars in those little center caps, then no one will be the wiser...

(They'll also be a HELL of a lot easier to clean!!)

They do look sweet!!

When i just saw the wheel i was like hmm i dunno. But when you see the whole car on all 4, it makes it look so much more sporty!

I wonder what black ones would look like also hmm!
