No they wont fit, you will have to grind the spindles down in the area that the calipers sit in. PBR calipers are longer and it will require some grinding.

well a stock fox body 5.0 has like 10.5" rotors and came with 15in wheels, I think anything 16 and bigger will work.

Here is a good website for this type of conversion, and any other brake conversion for that matter

Here is a SN95 spindle. Where the marks are are where you sould need to grind.


Here is a 1996+ spindle. See the difference?
