winter tires and rims

[guspech750]

just wondering if crown vic or mec grd mrq rims will fit the marauder or does the marauder have a different bolt spacing? also does anyone have any sugestions for winter tire brands? thanks for your time.

The rims from any 03 & newer crown vic or grand marquis will work. 02 & older rims have different offset.

I'm sure that you will get a lot of responses about how "search" is your friend. Although, this has been covered a few times over, here is my take on it.

Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis wheels fit fine on the Marauder. You will need to go for '03 up wheels because the backspacing changed and that will allow for the bigger Marauder brakes (they are still the 5 on 4.5" B.C.). I run 7-hole P71 Interceptor wheels for winter use (16x7). There are varying opinions on winter tire brands. But if you are looking to find out how a Marauder behaves in the snow with snow tires, it is a champ. Just throw some weight in the trunk.

I run the Winterforce snow tires that I bought from TireRack. They are cheap, great in the snow, and can be studded if you want.
Front: 215/65-16
Rear: 225/70-16

The staggered size keeps the ABS and Traction Control happy.

I bought my steel rims for the Marauder so that was no issue. I used Michelin X-Ice tires, 215/60/17 front and 235/65/17 rear. They worked great in the cold and snow, no problems with TC
