4 to 5 lug swap?
If I want to swap from 4 to 5 lug can i just use V8 drum brake hubs to convert the front on my inline 6 spindles?
I have no plans on putting a V8 in the car, just want the look of 5 lug rims.
Thanks

Not on the 65 66 Mustang..
This can be done on the 67 68 69 70 Mustang. The Spindles are the same.

That's a really expensive way to get a "look". Why not just get good-looking wheels for your 4-bolt?

No you have to have V8 spindles and hubs for the 65-66 year.

There is no way to easily change any 4-bolt Mustang axle to 5-bolt. You'd have to change the whole rear assembly.

Does anyone know what size rims and what name these rims are in this picture, they look pretty sweet.

OR you could just get wheel adapters from 4-5 lug.

That's something that I wouldn't do, they are too thick and you could break the studs.
