I have not used them on a mustang, but I have used them on dune buggies to run a chevy bolt pattern and they have worked out well.

They will make the wheels stick out and look redneck

You can convert them using mustang parts. I bought my fox with ranger brakes, and now it has parts from a 96 and an 01 |
don't do it!!!
I bought a set of those from the same company on ebay. I used them to put a set of 05 GT wheels on my 91 Notch. I thought they were awesome, a Cheap & Easy 5lug conversion & the 05 wheels fit perfectly on the car.
They worked great for about 1,000mi :icon_doh: UNTIL the left rear spacer separated on me @ 50mph, sending my wheel deep into the woods & sending me down the road with 3 wheels, dragging the left side of the rear axle on the ground. pretty scary ride but could have been alot worse & possibly even fatal if it had happened at the wrong time,higher speeds, around other cars ect..... Thank God I was in a rural area & no one was around. Come to find out, the bolts that hold the outside plate to the inner plate of the adapter slowly backed out & then finally snapped off, I felt no vibration whatsoever & the only warning I had was an occasional light clicking noise from the rear that I thought was the drum brake acting up again like it had done before the spacers had been put on. from the time I heard the first click to when the wheel came flying off was no more than 15 intown miles. It all happened suddenly. Needless to say, I will NEVER use them again & would never recommend them to anyone. sorry for the long post but I wanted to put my .02 in. |
