Angry 99' cobra wheels w/ 3/8 spacer...won't fit!!!

the wheels won't fit in front, I mashed in the bearing cap and it won't fit. Even w/o the bearing cap they still don't clear the hub!! This sucks!! Any ideas...anyone?

...Told you so on the SVT thread...95 Cobra R wheels will work! ....otherwise get 1994 front Mustang spindles & brake set-up...then your wheels will work!!!

I'm guessing you shouldn't have gone with the cheap 5 lug conversion aka, lincoln rotors?

the previous owner did the 5 lug on it. I was told buy a guy I bought some parts from that they were lincoln rotors, I'll get some pics of them to confirm what they are. I only need another 1/8" or so to make them fit. I think they'll fit if I could grind down the outer edges of the hub where its hitting.

Nothing really wrong with that set-up as long as you do your homework & get the proper wheels that will fit...'95 Cobra R's work perfect!

Atleast the rears fit...looks like i will need to swap out the front spindles, rotors, ect. with 94/95 ones. Does anyone know exactly what parts I need and from what year SN95 mustangs have them?

Try the 98 spindles. I think they give you a better option the the 94/95's
