What Size Tires For Crown Vic Wheels

[Ford 5.0]

Thinking about getting some Crown Vic 1998-2002 16"x7" steel wheels for my 5 lug conversion. Is anyone using these what size tires are you running?

On a 7" wheel you are generally looking at a 215, 225, 235 wide tire. You can probably go smaller, but why! A 245 will fit on the 7" wheel, but you are starting to stretch it at that point.

Most likely the SVO 225/50/16 size will work best for you. Best of luck!

The stock GT / LX 5.0 size on the 16x7" Pony wheels was 225/55-16. I didn't realize SVOs used 225/50s.

So, go with 225s, and choose whichever aspect ratio gives you a diameter that best matches the stock tire diameter (so the speedometer and odometer aren't thrown off).

i when with the non shinny rings so they matched the crown vic center caps.
the reviews on the rings are mixed but i had no issues with shipping or fit .( the retainers on the back will scrape of your paint like the one reviewed said)
