I have always loved those wheels... how much did you pay for them?

ebay, $370, that included shipping! the tires have tons of tread too.

Good find man... I want to put rims on my car so bad but I dont feel like converting to 5lug. I think Im just gonna stick with 4.

5 lug Conversion DONE! Updated Pics.

First off I have to say stock brakes suck, 13" rotors is where its at! It took me about 6hrs which included lunch breaks and some xbox 360 action. Being able to do things like this to my stang is just one of many reasons why i'll never get rid of it.

List O' Parts I went with:

94stangspindles
Cobra calipers
Cross Drilled & Slotted 13" Rotors
MM Stanless Steel brake lines
Ford Racing Rear Axles & Drum kit
New axle bears and seals from Ford

RE: 5 lug Conversion DONE! Updated Pics.

Here's an easy way to install the new axle bearings using the pulley without the claws. It matched the diameter of the bearing almost perfect.
