Ultra wheels on ebay Reply #16 – July 19, 2006, 12:39:28 AM Quote from: amoosetI got the info from a fairly reliable source. Could it be that maybe there was a 5 lug option like the turbo coupe thing? I would hope that any bidders would know whether or not they will fit a certain application. That's also why I said to check with your dealer first. :flip: right back at ya.What "5 lug option like the turbo coupe thing" are you referring to? All TC's were 4-lug. There was no 5-lug option, unless you wanted to install 'em yourself. The '79 Cougar was a full frame car with 5-lug wheels, the 80 - 88 were Foxes. And one thing I have learned in six years of selling on eBay: Don't ever assume that car owners know what fits their cars. The "Law of eBay Assholes" dictates that the winner of your auction will have a '79, the rims won't fit, and they'll want all their money back, plus shipping. Trust me - if it's possible for a bidder to misinterpret anything, they will misinterpret it. Hell, you could spell it all out and include photos, and the bidder simply won't read it or look at the photos.Sorry for the derail - sometimes I just gotta have an eBay vent :D Quote Selected

Ultra wheels on ebay Reply #18 – July 19, 2006, 08:58:31 AM Nope. 87-88 TC's are 4 lug, 16".I'm personally surprised that the 80-82 is 4 lug. I didn't know that. The 79 is definitely 5. --Ed Quote Selected
Ultra wheels on ebay Reply #19 – July 19, 2006, 10:45:08 AM I have a picture of the 87 TC snowflake wheels on my cardomain page, page #2 I think. I know for a fact that they are 4 lug because I wouldnt have carried them 1.5 miles out of a junkyard if they wouldnt fit my car. :2c: Quote Selected
