please help bullet wheels on fox
hey guys i asked a few weeks ago about a 5 lug swap on my 91 and i did get some information but through all of my searching and trying i have not found what i am looking for
my question is what will it take to make bullet wheels to fit on the front of a fox body ive seen them on the internet and ive even seen one on the road so i pulled in and asked him what he did to make them fit and he didnt have any idea how it was done!
according to all of the 5 lug conversions they say bullet wheels will fit with wheel spacers but ive tried and the center cap will still not go on even with a wheel spacer they said 1/4" spacer and i have even tried a 3/8" still will not go on but the car i saw on the road didnt have any spacers at all
but he said it was not the 94-95 conversion he said it was the original 87 spindles and calipers please help
also when taking it to the strip i want to be able to run skinnies and i heard the skinnies will not work on the lincoln mark VII rotors
any help is appreciated

I used a 3/8" spacer. Then you have to buy lug nuts that have a slight shoulder on them so the threads will reach down inside the wheel. You have to mash the dust cap flat and then modify the inside of the center cap by removing part of the center cap in the middle behind the emblem. then they will work.
