Easiest 5 lug swap for an 86 gt


Im gonna do a 5 lug swap on my car cause I want 17 inch black bullits and nitto 555's. But you cant use the regular 5 lug swap from ford racing cause the 86's have different front spindles right?

I looked at the kit and it said 87-93. So now im stumped

And is there an easy and cheap way I can do it? Ive heard like 4 cylinder ranger spindles work. But what about the rear axles. And what about the rear brakes ill have to get new rear brakes right? cause it will take a 5 lug drum. But I would rather convert to 4 wheel disc too. Can I just use a sn95 rear end setup with its disc brakes too

just save your money and find some nice 4lug rims.
I dont understand why people want to convert besides for a tadbit of added strength,and better looks.
Put the G somewhere else in your car

I think drag lites are over played on our cars. I do kinda like your rims tho I might look into some of those

I hate how limited our choices are with 4 lug

I still might do the 93 Cobra fan blade rims lol. For some reason I like those alot
