GO to www.crownvic.net, and search for wheels. There is a thread about all the wheels that will and won't fit.
Mostly anything up to -02 FACTORY wheels will fit. Any competent tire/wheel shop will know what to do,

Thanks! I have looked in that section,maybe I have not seen all of the posts, but it sounds like people are using 1.25-1.5 spacers. That dosnt sound safe, have you heard otherwise?

I have 02 mustang bullit wheels on my 02 interceptor, tires were very close to the ball joints, so i used .25 spacers and they fit fine. |

In most cases it is only 1/4 inch spacer that you need. Unless you really have a WIDE tire.
Right now I'm running 9" X 19" Niche wheels and 245/45R19Z tires with no problems. I have tried Bullit 8" x 18" with no problems.
