Our bolt pattern is 4 x 108.

Lol. I was just putting out a question for the FAQ.
I think the newest Cougars had the same pattern as well.

Correction/addition:
Stock offset for the early 7-spokes is 47.5mm (as stamped on the back.)

How about:
- Will 225/50 fit stock rims without rubbing (YES!)
- Does 225/50 throw off the speedo noticeably (NO!)
- What are popular upgrade sizes for stock rims because 215/50 is so hard to find (205/55, 225/50, 225/45)
- What are some of the popular replacement tires at each price point?
- If I replace my KDWs with all-season tires, will I notice the difference? (YES!)

Benefits (if any) of running 7.5" vs. 7" on 17's, 18's so on and different offsets the different width wheels that should be run.
Thought that might want to be addressed as well...
