Converting the crown vic to a larger bolt pattern?

Post by DHill42 »

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of building a 1970 f100 for my wife. I have got the crown vic front suspension installed, and she has began looking at wheels and tires. The problem is the wheels she has picked out only come in the big 5 x 5.5 lug pattern. Is there any way to convert the crown vic front suspension to the larger bolt pattern?

Thanks

One thing to remember is that the CV front end is wider so you'll need wheels with a different offset to keep them under the fenders.

Not enough 'meat' in the rotors/hubs to shove the lug pattern out to 5.5"
