How big can we go?

[Reaper948]

Anyone know how large of rims we can put on our car?
(Not putting on my car because i drive like a maniac but curious)

[RF Overlord]

Are these rims big enough for ya?

[LincMercLover]

Boy, you're still bound and determined to see a MM on here with 20's ehh?

[CRUZTAKER]

No comment on 20's........

besides, I recently came to understand that NO aftermarket wheel company is going to make a "custom"
(exact-fit) wheel that ONLY fits the marauder. It is not cost effective to create a wheel that only fits one specific car in their market. We will likely NEVER see a size specific wheel for a marauder, and will always have to deal with a NEAR FIT situation.

This is per a recent conversation with Enkie wheel corp. I found a set of 5-spoke black anodized that look incredible. Unfortunately, they will NEVER be available for exact fit.

It is Enkei. Not Enkie. :)

You got a model number for the black rims?

[mdmarauder]

I think that the Marauder, Crown Vic, Grand M., and Town Car all have the same offset. As long as they are 2003 models.

I think any time you talk about rims around RF your going to get his favorite picture. I think I'll start telling people that RF is a Ricer boy in Marauder clothing! But then again that pic is starting to gorw on me, maybe I will do the look, if nothing else RF would have a new pic to punish us with. :lol:

Oh, so I'm gonna have trouble with YOU, now? How about I start showing pix of the cars you own that AREN'T listed in your sig?

Like the Yugo, the Pacer, and the Citroën?

[mensrea]

Hey, watch the Yugo jokes:(

[jgc61sr2002]

The pacer is starting to appreciate. John

[Reaper948]

Well do any of you think that 20s could be put on it?

[LincMercLover]

SHM has 20's Reap.

[Reaper948]

LML....
What are the parameters that wheels have to have to be on our cars?.... i know no terms about wheels....

[Warpath]

First you need to understand that larger wheels will likely shorten the life of your suspension and steering. The loads into the suspension will increase with the increased weight and decreased sidewall height. The ride will also suffer.

You can get two or three piece billet wheels custom made for the MM. They can be pricey especially the 3 piece wheels. If you are not familiar with these wheels, basically the wheel is made of separate parts welded together. If you search the internet for "billet wheels," you will find plenty of manufacturers. You will need the proper bolt pattern and offset or backspacing. Someone here on the board can help you with that.

Exactly...

On a related note, I was at the local Stop & Shop (Try 'n Save, Mega Lo Mart, whatever) and saw an Excursion with, get THIS, 23" wheels...tires were, IIRC, 305 40's...man, I bet that monstrosity rode like hell...

26 inch wheels are available. The only tire available is a 32 inch tall tire. That leaves only 3 inch sidewalls! Here's some pictures from http//www.truckinweb.com .

So far all I've got is the 19" and 20" rims have a 9" width... I'm working on it.
