This past weekend I went to visit my friend back home to see his car.

He recently got a 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII... now before you mods go moving this to the other cars area...

 

His wheels are the same bolt pattern as ours, and he is running the exact same tire size as me (so I'm assuming they are 8 inches wide) The only part I'm unsure of is the offset, I have NO clue how to measure it either.

Now comes the fun part, the car was given to him just to get it out of his dads drive way, the thing looks mint, to the untrained eye... Its been in a bad accident (roll over) and although they did a great job fixing it, the fit and finish of certain parts sucks. He is trying to sell it, but might not be able to based on this knowledge. So yours truely might have a line on some cheap rims. He might even be willing to take my cross laces for them (he loves them)

Here is a quick photo shop I did... his rims, my car, let me know what you think!

I'm no pro with photo shop... I know that they are kinda brighter than my pic, but it gets the point accross!

They need some cleaning up, I would probably have them powder coated, and I know his rotors suck, the cars been sitting for about 4 months...

IIRC: Lincoln MKVIII bolt pattern is 5x108 and will not fit on our cars

 

Really? awww crap.... we didn't have time to do a test fit on the weekend. I just googled it and found multiple answers, one of which was the same as ours :confused:

actually I know for a fact that they are 5x108, they had the same pattern as my '97 Continental and finding rims that fit that car that looked good was a complete bitch.

american racing snipers are one of the worst rims ever

yeah my friend had chrome ones on his 94 GTP, and they looked bad. then those same rims were on another friends 94 Z34, and also looked bad

hmmm, well I guess the jury is unanimus on thos rims... I'm better of doing black cross laces and everyone saying its been done before :lol:

Keep your crosslaces. Also, take into consideration the offset. You have to fill those B4U fender flares.

Offset? hows 42 sound?

I found some nice black chrome 18x8" 5 spokes while my car was in the shop today... $200 a peice though

crosslaces are +20 or 25mm I cant exactly remember, the lower the number the more they stick out.
