Can I put 19's on my 2002 LS v6 STICK

[rishi65]

Hey all,
I have a 2002 Lincoln LS V6 Sport with the 5spd (took me FOREVER to find it)
Anyway, now that I have my Magnaflows, KurtsCustoms Intake, and drilled and slotted rotors, I want to do a rim swap.
I was wondering if any one can tell me if I can fit a set of 19's on the LS without any issues, the offset that I'm looking at is around 40, so I won't have to worry about spacers, just wondering if they'll rub at full lock???

Thanks for your time, and any help you guys can give is appreciated!

Shouldn't be a problem with the right width, offset and tire. I'm on 20s without issues. Someone with 19s can give you more details.

Here is my car with 19's. With a 40mm offset you can do a 245/40 w/o rubbing. I run a 255/40 in rear and 245/35 in front, but Im also lowered 2".

I use spring stiffners in back so I dont rub on big dips. I did have a 245/40 in front but rubbed on full turns because of the lowering springs. Stock height shouldnt be a problem to run 245/40's all around.

RollinLS, you car makes me smile every time I see it.

Okay so the 19's will fit, thanks for the info. My plan is to put a set of Corvette C6 chromes on the car, (don't worry, I'll be knocking the center caps out and replacing them) only problem is, these rims are 9.5 wide in the rear, and 8.5 wide in the front. I could probably find four 8.5's if I had to, but can the 9.5's fit???

I know I'm pushing it, hope someone knows if they will fit, thanks for all your help guys.

C6 wheels dont even have the same bolt pattern. And as you stated a 40mm offset will not work with 9.5" wide wheels. I have a 40mm offset with 8" wheels and that is pushing it.

I did know about the lug pattern issue, I spent all day looking for some C6 replicas that were 5x108, but I didn't have any luck. I guess I'll have to keep looking, but I'm still planning on running 19's or 18's

Thanks again guys-
