Yes, but doing it that way will limit wheel selection

looks about right. Let me know how it turns out. I'm doing the same thing to my Fox once it stops raining over here. I plan on using the SN95 front spindles and brakes though. That and then Aerostar axles and drums. I have a set of Billet Specialties Street lites that I'm going to put on the car.

You do know that the Aerostar rear drums are 10" not 9" like the Mustang and you will need the Aerostar backing plates and brake assembly for the rear as well.

I believe he is referring to the front, if your using the SVO/Lincoln type rotors on your factory spindles you will run into center cap issues with some wheels as opposed to using the SN-95 spindles, hubs and rotors. I ran into that when I eventually went with the 96 17" GT wheels on my car using the SVO/Lincoln rotors.

If your referring to the SVO/Lincoln setup, I used the 1994 16" pony wheels for a couple years they fit fine.



as far as 17" wheels I'm not sure of any that won't have a issue with the center caps.

It can be done the way you arte talking about. I did it w/ mine and it's not that hard.

bullits will not fit 5 lug rotors, which are just svo/lincoln style rotors you need 95 style brakes to make it work... SEARCH! there is a ton of info on the conversion
Yes, they will fit w/ a 3/8" spacer. And you can buy lug nuts that reach into the wheel to make up the extra stud length given up by the spacer. You'll have to hammer the dust cap flat as well but it will work.

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.
