Just curious if any of the stock wheels from other FoMoCo products would fit on the Contour? For example, the 16" off a late model Thunderbird, or SHO, Mustang wheels (minus the pony caps), etc? Contours are a bit hard to find at the friendly-neighborhood junkyard  Thanks. ------------------ Andres '96 Contour GL Zetec, ATX, ~68K

The problem with use of the T-Bird and the Stang is that those cars are RWD, not FWD and therefore the wheels would stick out and make your Tour look like an old roller skate! I really like the wheels on the Focus ZX3 and ZTS, check those out. If you wanna see what your car looks like w/ other wheels try here www.tirerack.com go to buy wheels and follow the directions, you'll see your ride and then GO!

Not only that, the Stangs have 5 bolts and Tours only have 4.

"Fox" bodied Mustangs (and Capris) are 4 lug. Believe the "Fox" body style run was 82-93, but don't quote. Exception would be the 84-5-6 SVO Mustang, which was 5 lug.
