The 96-02 HPP crown vic/marquis wheels would be fine....close to the 90-92 mark 7 wheel....that would look sweet IMHO.

I guess I'm not into Fairmonts as much as y'all are, but there is no denying it would look boss with those black and silvers on it.

That pic is from a guy in CL. I met up with him today and he wouldn't budge off of $200 for them. So, I passed. Those wheels were available on different models. I think I can find a set closer to $100.

The size difference between that and say an 87 Grand Marquis is totally different right. Like, the Fairmont is a fox and i believe the Marquis is full frame?

I think they were ALL foxbody's back then. LOL!

Got some front brake parts yesterday and had the rotors turned. 11" spindles, Crown Vic rotors and calipers.

I think the P71 wheels with white wall trimmed tires would look good. Imo

Yea the Fairmont is a fox, and the Grand Marquis is a panther with the full frame. The Marquis was a fox, however. :hick:

The LTD could be either a fox or panther so I call the fox LTD the "Little" LTD, and everyone seems to know which one I'm talking about then.

Nice. Something this clean and old can be pretty rare up this way.

That P71 wheel you showed in the picture is for the 2003-2012 P71/CV/GM. Same bolt pattern but different offset. Its much closer to the 2005 and up Mustangs. You would want wheels for the 2002 and older.

My wife has a 2001 CV HPP. Its a really nice car.
