so i went to the junk yard today for fun. as i was walking back through the ford section, i saw this wheel on an older grand marquis. i had to have it so i took it off and up to the counter. for a total of $18.30 i got the wheel and im satisfied with my purchase. heres some pics. its a 15 inch wheel. it a clears the trunk floor by an inch or so, so i should be able to have a flat floor!!!!!!!! this wheel also appears to be billet aluminum

Mine came from a 90 Lincoln Towm car. Everything they had stored under the package shelf fit perfect in my spare well including the fuzzy cover.
 
That's funny that this post came up this week. I was looking at the spare in a Lincoln town car and it looks just like that. It is the right pattern and measured about 25 tall. I will go back and grab it!!
 
You better trial fit it on your front and rear. The center register should be too small diamter to fit. You'll need to grind it out a little.

Right now, if you have a flat you are screwed.

Also check disk brake clearance. I think it should be fine, but don't assume.
