rim issue

[dustin]

Hello names dustin i have a 96 lincoln mark viii diamond anniversary and my stock rims are shot i picked up some stock 2004 lincoln ls rims because i found out they are same bolt pattern prblm is the backs have plenty of clearence but front rim lip hits the bar connected to the control arm is there spacers or something else i can do to make them fit thank u for your time n hope to be a long time member

spacers are not a good idea, i would just get rims with the proper offset
the bolt pattern on the stock wheels is 5 X 4.25, with a 39 mm positive offset

Welcome Dustin! I'm sure you can find the correct wheels from a member here if you wanted to go that route.

You can run spacers but it is better to run something with the correct fit. A friend of mine ran with LS rims on his car for a year and had no issues. I think a 3/8 spacer should be the one your looking for.
