Lincoln Mark Viii Wheels

Gunmetal (kinda)

Black (at least I tried)

original

Thanks a lot! I'm really liking the black :evil_grin:

Ok, I've been doing some more research about these wheels...1994 Mark VIII's (don't know what generation had the same specs) had stock 16x7 wheels, 5x108 lug pattern with a 39mm offset...that should fit a Taurus then correct? Or at least a Gen2 anyway .

I'm still trying to look for the centerbore/ hub diameter of the Taurus. I've read that the Mark VIII's have 63.9 mm centerbores so...I don't know. I really don't want to have to get some hub rings custom made like some people have done to mount Volvo wheels onto their bulls.

Finally, here's a guy with T-bird SC wheels on his Mark. So by mathematical logic... Taurus ----> T-bird ---> Mark VIII ---> Taurus?

Edit: My half-assed photo edit of my car

What year was your friend's mark 8? When you say it didn't bolt it, do you mean the lug patterns didnt match or was the tire rubbing against something?

Edit: I'm even more confused now because I've been reading some stuff over at the Mk VIII boards and one of them has Taurus rims mounted for his snow tires...

All mark VIII wheels will work. Mark pre 93 VII's were 4 lug, but all mark VIII's (93-98) were 5x108, 16x7, 39mm offset. Exact same size wheel as the thunderbird SC.

A Mark VIII is built upon the same MN12 platform as the Tbird was, and has nearly identical suspention/drive axle components.

Here's a pic of my '95 with the SC wheels:

Here's another photochop if I spraypaint the smaller lines in between the main spokes black...HMMM it looks *almost* like those OZ superleganza wheels...

EDIT: Looks like its pretty much confirmed that the Mark VIII wheels will fit: Gen3 Sable with 95 Mark VIII rims...

All of them do.....except the Lincoln Mark VII

Here's a stone stock Mark VII. Note the 5 lug wheels.

I wanted one of these for a while.

well, just to give a quick update on everyone who has helped me on this... Here's a quick pic of the new (to me) MK VIII wheels. Not bad for $140 with the tires included

Looks nice as it is IMO...but all of them has some of the clear coat peeling- need to paint them a new color though . That's another thread in the making hmmm....

I'd like to thank everyone who gave me some reassurance about fitment. The TCCA does work folks!
