Thanks guys, that info will help me decide which 18" wheel to buy for my winter wheels.

Personally I'd recommend some 17" or even 16" wheels for your snow tires. You can often find like new used take offs from 05 up Mustangs for cheap on your local Craigslist. The have the proper offset, bolt pattern and hub bore. In fact the Marauder wheel with a slight change was offered as an option on some years of the V6 Mustang.

I already have 16" steel wheels but I will be getting a TCE Willwood brake kit and will need 18" to clear.

Do you or anyone else have more info on said wheels? Thanks in advance! :beer:

Im just about certain that the crown vic steel wheels are easily able to bolt up the marauder bub. Ive seen people slap marauder wheels on crown vics and grand marquis's all day long so i dont see why it would be any different. Im pretty sure they are 18 steel wheels too because they are huge on police vehicles and bery inexpensive.

Same spec's as the Marauder rim EXCEPT .....

The Marauder center cap will stick-out slightly when put onto the Mustang rim; this is due to the ridge that the clip of the center cap grips being a little more outbound.

All 2003+ Panthers have the same rim spec's.

The Crown Victoria (and Grand Marquis) large rims are 17" (NOT 18").

That pic' was posted to provide the spec's of the Marauder rim and the part # is that of Ford Racing Performance Parts offering. The FoMoCo part # for the same rim is 3W3Z-1007-BA.

Zim Hosein asked specifically for the part # of the 2009 Mustang pony rim.

Follow along in your books as we learn 2 new rims. :D

Just for clarification, the '09 'stang rim, Part # 3W3Z-1007-BA is the direct replacement for our Marauder rims, minus the difference in the offset of the center caps correct? I don't want the parts guy searching around for a rim that is not a direct bolt on. :o
Again. thanks inadvancee! :beer:

7R3Z-1007-C - Mustang (Marauder-like) rim

3W3Z-1007-BA - Marauder rim.

*NOTE: Difference in pricing per rim - $500 wholesale / $1000 retail. *The Marauder rim being more $$$$$.

Thank You for taking the time to provide the FRPP rim info' and pic's. Will add it to my stock-pile of Marauder information and give some consideration in creating a web page documenting Marauder rim variants.

i know! i was so busy with the phone, after i took the pic i looked with my own eyes and went all googly eyed!

They are nice and sparkly silver.

[Turbov6Bryan]

with way too many part numbers in every direction lol

[kirk]

I'm no expert, but I believe the difference is

the number on the part is the production number, not the part number.

I've run into a lot of this on old Ford parts. Doesn't make sense to me but I'm sure it makes sense to somebody at Ford.
