Question (S-Type wheels)

[lexmarkz00]

18" Vulcan
Standard

Would those fit on an LS? I like those a lot better than the '06 LS wheels... they kinda remind me of a Mustang.

Edit: And since the center caps or whatever look the same, would I be able to keep the Lincoln ones?

i dont know about the center cap, but it should fit, personally i like the valencia

The Vulcan wheels are from Type-s R, so they are a lot wider in the back. If they fit on the LS they will look hella fine...

 

[daves2000ls]

theyre wider in the back?

Yep; the S-Type R has 245/40-18 up front and 275/35-18 in the back. That's almost 2" wider than the LS's stock tires, so the rear wheel's probably going to be around 9.5" wide...

So basically they won't fit?

They should

thats badass, i was looking to get staggered wheels that are the same diameter

 

[daves2000ls]

i checked ebay and didnt find any vulcans, where do you find them and how much are they

 

[lexmarkz00]

I'm assuming you'd just go to a Jag dealer and order them?

 

[SoonerLS]

They should

I remember reading that 9.5" wide wheels have clearance problems in the rear. The LS and S-Type have similar rear suspensions, but, IIRC, they use some different components, and there's no telling what the R fellows have done back there.

If they do fit, though, those would be some sweet wheels!

When I bought my wheels from the Tire Rack, I was going to go with the Jag Size wheels. They advised against it because I had lowered my LS 1" and they had trouble with wide wheels on the rear of some LSs. Since I was too far away to check the fit before I made the purchase, I went with the 8" wheels. Someday I would like to try 9.5" on the rear, but they cost too much to guess.
