I was reading here http://tinyurl.com/6eub64h on doing the 5 lug conversion and have a question about rims.

It says that if you use the mark vii rotors, you can use rims such as 97 and older cobra rims. Some aftermarket bullitts I've found say they fit 94-11 Mustangs, but I've read the bullitts won't work with the mark vii rotors. It kind of confuses me though, because obviously the 97 and older cobra rims fit within the 94-11 years. Unfortunately, I'm thinking the answer is no.

But anyways, would these fit with the mark vii rotors and ranger axles?

If not, why? The dust cap won't allow the center cap to fit? Would that be the only problem?

 

if you want those rims, just buy 94-95 spindles.

 

Yes, the only problem with the New edge style bullitts is the dust cap on the rotor. Just pain the cap black and you won't really tell much of a difference.

 

Wonder if you could modify the centercap to get it to cover it? Hmm

One thing I don't get is the center cap on the bullitt is the same size as 95 cobra replicas and 95 cobras are suppose to fit. What size of center cap is needed?

 

Its not the size of the cap, its the depth. It has been awhile since I have messed with a regular 5.0 spindle but I would probably trim off some of the extra spindle that the hub nut goes on and smash in the dust cap. Thats IF doing that would work. I really don't recommend doing this unless you actually know what your doing.

NOW the other issue that comes with Mark and SVO rotors.....The outer diameter of the hub is bigger than the inner diameter of the wheel surface. Some still use the rotors and have the outer edge machined down on a lathe. I haven't personally dealt with bullitts though so IDK if you have to machine the hub down or not.

 

just get 94-95 spindles, better geometry, better brakes, easier maintenance, better wheels

 

Ahh, this is the kind of info I was looking for. So there's a chance that it just wouldn't fit right because of the rotor then?

 

Does 28 spline, 5 lug conversion work with the 7.5 in rear end, or do you need to switch to the 8.8

 

#1. Make your own thread
#2. yes it will work. But why waste your money on a 7.5?

And fiveoh... the reason the 95-97 cobra wheels work is because they are an open lug style wheels. The 94-11 bullitts dont fit in that category because THEY ARENT COBRA WHEELS!

And I have seen people have an issue not only with the depth of the hub opening, but the width of it as well.

Bottom line, you want Bullitt wheels, use SN-95 spindles.

 

#2. Just changing to 5 lug for better wheel options. I am not adding power yet because I use it to commute 800 miles a week.
