I recently purchased a 1987 Thunderbird with 5.0 engine. I would like to purchase new wheels. Can anyone tell me what sizes will fit my car?

Likely 15" is the best idea although 14''s would likely fit well too. If the rims are to big the tire sidewall is too small thus your vehicle absorbs road impacts instead of the tire sidewall. That''s why I suggest these.

I have 17x9 chrome Cobra R wheels front and rear,with 245/40/17 up front and 255/40/17 out back.No problems and room for my quad shocks.I''ll probably go 275/40/17 eventually on the rear.My Bird is also a 5.0 car.
