wheel fitment question

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Slapping 2006 Mustang GT wheels on your 2000 Crown Vic? Now we’re talking style with some muscle flair. For a staggered look, you’ll want a balance of tire width and aspect ratio to maintain proper fitment without rubbing issues. With those 18x9.5 wheels, something like a 255/45R18 up front and 275/40R18 or 285/40R18 in the rear should get you the staggered stance while staying close to the factory rolling diameter. Before pulling the trigger on tires, double-check the wheel offset. Mustang wheels often have a lower offset than Crown Vic wheels, meaning the tires might poke out a bit. If you’ve already got some room under those wheel wells, you’re good, but if not, a fender roll or minor adjustments might be in your future.
