i am doing a 5lug conversion with rear disc brakes
i am using ranger axles lincoln rotors and cadillac calipers for the rear

i want to use saleen or cobra rims but i hear that the centers wont fit on the front if i use lincoln fronts...what can i do for the front to fit the wheels and keep it cheap?

Search your local salvage yards for Cobra or SVO stuff. You can swap in the hubs and all. In fact, If you were to find one , the entire rear end would swap right in. All you would want to do is change out your proportioning valves.

you can only use the left axle out of the ranger because it's offset..you can use a t-bird but there .75" wider but you can fix that with a different backspace on the rims..
