Will these rims work with this conversion?
Ok I might do the 5-lug swap and if I do i want to do it the cheapest way with the ranger axles and the Lincoln mark 8 rotors. I want to put these rims on here because only one other person has them in town and we had them on our 94 cobra and I LOVE the way they look. So could I make them fit or would they never fit on my car? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...1&comp=LRS I would like to put 9/10.5 but it will never fit right? would I be able to out 17 or 18"??

RE: Will these rims work with this conversion?
go check and see if the lug pattern for the ranger/mark8 are the same as the 05-08 mustangs.If they are,they should fit.
here you go...im bored
LINCOLN MARK 8
Lug Pattern: 5x4.25"
2005MUSTANG
Lug-pattern 5x4.50"
RANGER
Lug pattern 5x4.50"
hopefully this helps.if your only using the rotors fom the Mark 8,and spindles from the Ranger,I dont think they'll fit.but dont take my word on it

dont get 05-08 wheels, the offset is wrong, and you will regret it

RE: Will these rims work with this conversion?
Ok so I called Bones Enterprises and asked about the 17X9 rims and told him I was going to convert my 87 to five lug, and he said that the 87 and 94-04 have a M offset, and that these were 94-04 rims. They have a +24 offset, and about a 6" backspace. So if I did use the lincoln rotors would these rims fit and the center cap go on? Would the sit pretty even to the lip of the fender, I dont want them to stick over an 1 out in the back, or would the sit in more or would they be about perfect. He also said I could run a 245/45/17 in the front and a 275/40/17 in the back, how would that work out???

The Lincoln Front Rotor conversion will not work with these rims since where the bearing goes it sticks out farther then 94-04 hubs and is thicker. I have a set that I was going to put on my car but realized that my rim choices are restricted more with this setup then 4 lug
