I purchased a brand new 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis last year. After I bought it, I purchased brand new Vogue rims and tires, so the factory wheels came off. I put the new TIRES on my mothers grand Marquis, and the rims have just been sitting in there garage. When I bought my Marauder last month, I gave the Grand Marquis to my father for his 60th birthday. I only drove the Grand Marquis maybe a dozen times for some trips out of town since I bought it last year, so since it sat, I had no need to put the factory rims on it for the winter. My thing now is, can I put these wheels on my MM for this winter? I no longer have a beater to drive around, so I will Unfortunately need to drive my MM this upcoming winter. I need tires for the rims, so I'll probably get a set of winter tires for them if I can put them on my MM. I believe the tire size is 225/60/16. Will I screw anything up on the Marauder if I put these on? Mine is a 300A so I do not have traction control (which I believe is the biggest waste of money on cars to begin with). I know NOBODY wants to talk winter right now, but I need to know if I should just get rid of these. Thanks.

man I'm having deja vue.

I have 16" wheels and 215 65's front 225 70's rear. Work great all winter. as long as the lugs line up and the offset is right, it shouldn't be a problem.

These are not MGM rims.
