if i am not mistaken, with the offset of the newer S197's rims, they would sit too far under the car on a fox, unless you use a spacer. personally, there are a lot of nicer looking rims out there for a fox body with a 5 lug conversion. again, it's just my opinion...

They look just like the wheels on my 04 Crown Vic Sport.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

With the right 5 lug set up they should fit fine.

The offset is all wrong. They'll sit in too far and rub unless you use a spacer.

Offset is like 35mm. They won't fit in a fox.

They will fit if you have the SN95 brake conversion.

No they won't. They don't fit on an SN95 either. It's not the bolt pattern, it's the offset.

Actually, I'm pretty sure those ARE the same rims as an SAP (Sport Appearance Package) Crown Vic - same bolt circle (5x4.5") but probably a slightly deeper backspacing than on the Panther cars...

They look GREAT on a Panther, but on a Fox? Meh ... not bad, but there's a lot of better-looking alternatives to be had...

Close, but no cigar. I just compared them to my CV Sport and the spokes on the CV wheels are a little thicker and the hub area is flatter.

I also checked the offset and it is almost 3/4 of an inch deeper than the Fox or SN95 wheels are.
