Tires Ford vehicles have at least 4 tires, so we know they are important! Lets talk about tire size, backspacing, performance and price. Save yourself the headache of guess what those pesky numbers mean and start a conversation. Off-road, race or passenger tires, post comments here.

Red face Crown Vic. 16" to 15"?

Hey fellow Ford Fans, can anyone tell me if I can replace the 16" wheels and 225 60R16 tires on my 1999 Crown Vic. with 15" wheels and tires of a similar diameter? I'm going for an old school look and hot rod concept.
Thanks,
Quido

in many cases ford went to 16" wheels to use larger brakes. 15" might not clear the calipers
