The specification detailing how the wheel attaches to the vehicle hub on a Crown Victoria involves a five-lug configuration arranged in a circular shape. Each lug is spaced an equal distance apart on a circle of a defined diameter. This diameter is a critical measurement ensuring wheel compatibility.
Adherence to a specific wheel attachment standard offers several advantages. It ensures that replacement wheels and aftermarket options are readily available. The uniformity simplifies maintenance and repair procedures. Further, it provides a degree of safety because incorrectly sized wheels can cause handling instability and potential mechanical failure. The vehicle’s popularity, both in civilian and law enforcement applications, has historically led to a robust market for compatible wheel options.
