That Mercury one looks pretty good and nice and light.

My friend does towing for the local police departments and always has alot of junk car that eventualy go to the crusher. After seeing this thread i decided to go down and look.  the first one i found was from a mercury marquies but it was steel, but correct bolt pattern.  Then as i was looking over the other cars there was a lincoln mercury town car. so i poped the truck and WAH LA. there it was.  The Tire is a 145/80 R16  So the tire height comes up to 25.14"  My friend told me it can be no more then 5% differance. so i  have 26" tires and at 5% thats 1.3 inches. The differance of the one i found is .86 Inches.  he said it would be fine to use.  Now i am on the hunt for a jack.

I have a spare tire from a late-model Chrysler 300.

It takes up a ton of space, but it's a 17" rim and right in between the height of my front and rear tires.

That's the wrong bolt pattern.     5x115 is close, but not proper for the 5x4.5/5x114.3

Looks like the exact same as mine?

Old thread I know, but I picked up exact same rim on CL for $30
It's super light and overall height is perfect match.
