i gotta 88gt, and i can get stock svt rims off a 03 cobra, is it possible to go to a junkyard and get 5 lug axles and front hub assembly, and just swap them out .... how hard is this? any thoughts?

I doubt your gonna fit them under your wheel wells without scrubbing majorly, you can't really even get pony rims under there, no way can you fit those under there.

But if you want 5 lugs for cheap then:

For the front you will need one each left and right side spindles, hubs, rotors and calipers from either a '94 or '95 V6 or V8 Mustang
For the rear a couple rear driver side axles from offof a Ranger, Bronco II or Aerostar van from the late 80's

good luck

nevermind then... now that i look at it, i got pony rims with 50 series tires, and they rub a lil bit... thanks anyways... unless theres an easy way to raise it or something...

Dont do it... pony rims are the best looking rim for a fox body anyways...

i dont agree, and my rims looked ****ed up and faded, i heard about buffing them to look like chrome, how hard is this? any ideas? thanks...

That should be.....pony rims are the best looking rim "from the factory" for a fox body anyways

I personnally think they screwed up staying with the 4 lug pattern of Mustang 2's. They should have done 5 lug from '79 on. But hindsight is just that, hindsight. Only took Ford 15 years to get this straightened out

Almost forgot, here's a link to a site that covers swapping over to 5 lug if you're still interested.

Now where do you get all of those links[8D] I'm a fan of the ponies, cobra type rims also look good on foxes, just depends on the style you can to express.

If you go 5 lug on your fox... DEFINATELY get the fox body saleen rims!! ::droooool::
