Default rotor spacer?

ok so i went to my local mustang shop (mustang magic) and i was talking to him about a 5 lug conversion and he said i dont have to buy all tha 95 crap he will just put some small spacers in the front to fit the center cap on the ford 5 lug rotors. do u guys think this is a good idea or if i would be better of with calipers hubs and spindles off a 95?

I've never been a fan of spacers. Spindles would be the best way but the spacers would work and be cheaper. Just be sure the (-) offset of the rim compensates for the added (+) offset of the spacer

i got 95 spindles from ebay for 200$, with them you can run better calipers and bigger rotors, with just swapping to a 5 lug rotor you cant, and also with the 95's there lighter and take less maintaince

All you need is a 3/8" or 1/4" spacer (can't remember which) and some long reach lug nuts. It will work fine!!
