the 5 lug conversion should work fine as for rim choice....may need to go smaller and better back spacing

Yes they will. That's how I ran mine for 3 years w/o issues. You just have to have a few extra things and some slight modifications. it can easily be done.

Here's what I did.

I used a 3/8" spacer, bought shoulder style lug nuts that reach into the wheel to grab more thread, mashed my dustcap flat and modified the center cap so it would all work. It looks great and there have been no problems w/ the way it was done.

You could use the ranger axles with the sn95 brakes but you will need to buy the specialty brakets that they make for the cobra kit cars which are slightly $$ but will allow you to keep the same track width in the back. I can't remember the company who makes these but I am sure someone does. You could always go sn95 dicks in the front and use the ranger axles and drums in the back, This will give you 5 lug and a good foundation for future brake upgrades while allowing you to run almost any later model 5 lug mustang wheel.
