RE: 5 lug conversions
The tech article says 95 cobras will fit the front rotors. But then they start talking about rims with different off sets and i got confused. I know my front wheels now stick out further than the rear. should i get different off set rims or will the different axles and rotors change my offset much?

Looks like $35 total from the local junk yard. How do I get the rear axles off?

you have to take the differential cover off and then you have to get the c-clips off of the ends of the axles and then they should just slide out.....its a sucky job to fill the rear end back up with oil.....so have fun....
