Volvo wheels are a good bet. It's hard to find good wheels in 5x108... As me how I know. :)

Jaguar shares your center bore (63.4) and thread pitch (12x1.5) also, plus they have more selection for bigger cars like your Lincoln. Arguably, they will also fit the luxury theme of your car better as well. Anything newer than about 2004 from Jaguar is 5x108 with CB63.4mm.

Good to know, that's the same CB as a Focus ST, which is also 5x108.....I believe Maserati are the same, PCD at least anyway?

I've been looking for some different OEM+ style wheels for my Focus in 18in or 19in....having trouble here though, not many euro's like that ditch their wheels and sell them all that often.:mad

You'll have a tough time finding a really nice set of 5x108 wheels. There are sets on vwvortex on occasion. Also try out swedespeed.com's marketplace. It took awhile to find a set for my friend's volvo so we ended up finding something with less aggressive offsets and running adapters. Motorsport Tech or similar companies can machine 15mm+ adapters so you could run whatever you want as long as the offsets are friendly enough.

Lotus Esprit have 5x108, so do most 5 lug Peugeots.

ive been looking at adapters and going to 5x4.50 so that i have more options im just worried about space and the wheels wouldn't have much of a lip im looking for just a classic 5star look but im not dont looking around so somthing may come up. for right now ill keep what i got and lower it down and then get my wheels.

If you want lip and since there is a good chance your Continental has some room, you may even be able to do adapters with BMW 5x120 wheels. Since every other BMW is modded or has OEM 3-piece wheels, they are often a dime a dozen compared to quality/custom/multipiece 5x108 wheels and your car is so huge there is a decent chance you still get away with adapters and maybe some stretch to give you more clearance. I have BMW fitment for my winter wheels with 20mm spacers.

yea in the rear i have about 11 inches from the quarters to the sheetmetal. the front is about 10 1/2 max. i have to do more measurments what are the smallest adapters made.

I haven't seen stud-style adapters less than 20mm thick.

Look for rims in 5x110, when you will be able to use wobble bolts :)

yea 20mm should be fine leaving me space i think im going to stick to 8.5 wide and run a 215 wide tire car is alittle on the heavy side so i dont want to much strech.
