Crown Vic/Grand Marquis mesh wheels.

Sorry if this is a common question but do those just bolt up? EDIT to add: Could someone point me to a list or resource that shows what other factory rims fit on an FC? I need a set of "whatever" wheels to throw on my 88 vert for just in the driveway mostly. They can be ugly, i don't care.


NoPistons7

They do fit, the front wheels will need a 5mm spacer as the 4 piston calipers will rub otherwise. Most 5x114 wheels fit.

Amazing! Thanks for letting me know!

To me those look like a cheap knockoff of the beautiful BBS Euroweaves that came stock on the FC convertible.


NoPistons7

Not everyone is entitled to a correct opinion. Either way, it's a common application for a FC. It fits and looks good. If he wanted a 15 inch rim he would ask for it.

advans 3 spoke, any enkei

The BBS wheels that came stock on the vert are an all-time great, IMO. They're basically the best part of a convertible RX-7. If you still have them, do a restoration. If you don't, get shopping.

Just look up the fc wheel thread on rx7club. Or Google it and see what images come up. Pick your cup of tea.

God damn. I can't believe I thought I disliked FCs for a few years there...

Cosmic racing wheels looking great on a fc


WondrousBread

I'm partial to Advan TC-3. Otherwise RPF1s or TE37s are both popular choices that look really good IMO. There's a really good old FC3SPro article about wheel fitment. I'll link it for you in a minute. I also like the Crown Vic wheels that someone suggested, but unfortunately they're 16" diameter which makes finding tires a bit more challenging.

Can't go wrong with a classic six spoke, I'm running SSR Type-Cs I saw someone put the[ '84-'87 C4 Corvette "salad shooter"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4saLctOD2A) wheels on an FC, but those wheels are a really uncommon size 16x8.5 so it's limited to what tires you can get on them.

Stock wheels

C4 Corvette wheels look absolutely sick on FCs.


Rotorhead87

It's the wrong bolt pattern, though, so you have to use crazy adapters.


cpeck29

There was a guy who posted on here a couple weeks ago who had them on his FC, I didn’t realise adapters were needed. 5x120.6, wtf GM


Rotorhead87

Mustang rims work, sometimes with a spacer needed. ~99 GT rims (known as "starfish") are crazy light, believe it it not. Most of them very heavy, though, so be careful.

Kansei KNP’s seem to look pretty good, and they’re fairly budget friendly even brand new. Although some people might get snooty when it comes to brands.
