Also, the newer, fwd Lincoln continental uses that same lug pattern, '89 Thunderbirds look pretty sharp with the "lace mesh" alloys on.

But, am I safe to say that Mark Vii wheels are the same lug pattern as 94-04 Mustang?
(I'd guess they are, from what I've read about using the mk7 stuff for 5 lug/brake conversions)
Just wanna get a definite yay or nay..

Yes, the Mark VII (7) uses the standard 5-on-4.5" bolt pattern. The VIII (8) uses the smaller MN12 pattern
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

Blue Oval Wisdom. Truly an oxymoron...

The Mark VIII and MN12 use the FWD Taurus/Sable/Windstar pattern and wheel offset. Perhaps Ford used a different pattern to prevent people from putting RWD-offset wheels on their T-Birds?


Mark VIII chassis is coded FN10, but I'm sure you knew that.:D

I could MS paint all the wheels if you could get me some side-on shots of the wheels to go with the pic of your car. I'm not very good, but it got the point across on the thread I made (You gave me the idea:hick:)
