    Hi guys, thought I had a puncher on front drivers side, but it’s actually the alloy that’s cracked where the centre joins the rim.
    It currently has 14 x 6 rims but I would like something a bit bigger.
    Any recommendations on what would fit for a 15? Maybe 10’s?

    just to make my day, I borrowed a set of wheels from my sister, and one of those is now flat!!!

    Cheers

    Any intermediate car wheels, including the Mark IV/V/VI/VII, plus Panther platform cars--Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Town car '79-'03, will all fit. Babe has a set of 1990 Town Car 15" wheels with 215/70/15 tires, they fit correctly and do not rub.

    Hey Snoopy,
    My '79 GT has 15 x 12 Billet Specialty on the back and 15 X 8 on the front and they look good and do NOT rub.

    Yes, although they were an option earlier by a few years. I had found a set with nice tires years ago for my '74 Squire when we had Pull-a-Part, so they were $9.50 for each corner! Anyway, they came off a '75 Cougar. I'm thinking those may have been introduced in '74? When the intermediate-based T-Bird/Cougar/Mark IV came out
