people with 5- lug conversion.
 
who did a five lug conversion with a 50resto/ford racing kit and not sn95 spindles & hubs. how did you get certain wheels ( mainly 03 cobras) to fit in front with the center cap. the grease cap sticks out so the center cap won't fit for those of you wondering.

Hers's what I did. I bought all the stuff to do the sn-95 conversion. meanwhile, I was able to make the existing stuff work so the 95 parts are still on the floor at work. Almost 2 years now. DOH!!

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.

Don't rub, don't stick out, and they're made of aluminum. Weren't very expensive.

I would like to get a 5-lug conversion on mine. I also like the 5 star chrome pony's so it's a toss here.

be aware that when doing the sn95 5 lug like i did, if you want to lower your car, you will have to lower the fenders, i have 17x9 cobra rs wrapped in 245/45 and they rub when the suspension is flexxed all the way, and it sucks having longtubes and a lowered car, the hpipe always gets busted..=( thats why i am putting my stock springs back on.
