need 5 lug conversion and wheel help

foggyracing · June 3rd, 2008, 11:27 PM

i'm putting 5 lug axles on my 91 lx and was wondering if i can bolt on drums and rotors from any other vehicle with no modifications. i also plan on using weld draglite rims and was wondering what the max size width rim i can use without mods(no quad shocks)on the rear and what back space. some tell me use 8 inch, some say i can use 10 inch width. mt street radial will be the tire of choice. what size tire on witch rim would be best fit. thanks for the help

why get drums and rotors? go with a rear disk kit. SN95 hardware should bolt right up

the only direct bolt up you can do for the 5 lug is up to 95 and almost any rim will fit just ont get the tire to big

Why waste the time and money converting to 5 lug? Weld makes 4 lug wheels.

If you are still stuck on converting, here is what you need:
Front - 85-91 Lincoln Mark VII rotors, 84-86 SVO Mustang front rotors
Rear - '83-'92 4 cylinder/3.0 V6 Ranger/Bronco II left (driver) side axle or '86-'97 Aerostar right (passenger) side axles and drums

this link should be in a sticky, if it isn't already. this question is asked like 5 times a week.

I'd much rather pay the 1200 I did and have the parts I got on.
95 spindles (swap ball joints to SN95's)
99 PBR 2piston calipers (from any mustang V6 or GT 99-04)
98 8.8 with disk brakes and 3.73gears (got lucky with the 3.73s in there)
but for a full stock setup I'm guessing you could grab it for less then 800
Works mint and stocks on a dime giving you back some change.
