Question What rims fit a 5 lug swap fox?

I decided to put my 93 foxbody on the road and driving on slicks isn't fun cause I know I wasting money on my slicks. So my question is what rims fit my 5 lug swapped mustang?

Just about any rim that fits 94-98s.. I think New Edges too, but I'm not 100%.. Pretty common to see Saleen and Cobra-R rims, they do look pretty good on them.

What 5 lug swap did you use? Some rims might fit, but it will push the center cap out. If you are running SN spindles, then you wont have this problem.

My dads friend did it back in 2006 & knowing him he probably made his own kit. So I have no clue what parts he used. But I found this thread and I was wondering if you guys think he is correct or wrong.

Pretty much looks right to me.. There are more options than those listed but he's right about the fitment and quad shock removal, etc..

You need to know how it was swapped before you can be told what you can use. You can tell by looking at the front set up if it was a rotor swap or 94+ spindle swap.

Alot of that information came from our website. I can tell it was copied and pasted since its word for word how we have it. Not that its a bad thing. Its good information for sure.

This is true as well. If you are running SN spindles, you will be able to tell for sure. If they are SN spindles, then just make sure the wheels are correct back spacing so you wont have any rubbing issues.

I bought some FR500 rims for my 89 GT before i started the 5 lug conversion. The tires are 245/40/ZR 18. i don't know the backspacing. I need to know what is involved to make them fit or do i need to sell them and get different rims.
