Is your car converted to five lug yet?

[Shadowstealth]

no not yet... i have to order that this weekend... i have no way to check till i get the conversion from latemodel

one problem already is that saleen wheels will not mount on the lincoln front rotors included with the conversion from late model restoration, due to the dust cap and center section being too big. you can make them fit with spacers, or some grinding on the center cap hole, but i wouldn't reccomend either. you need to find spindles/hubs/calipers/rotors from a 94 or 95 mustang, any model, in order to mount them correctly. buy the rear kit from latemodel restoration though, as it saves a lot of hassle and aggrevation.

as for the tires sizes, they should be ok. the rear should be fine, as long as your fender lip is rolled, but you might get away without that. you may have some rubbing up front though. unless you're getting a killer deal, i would buy the wheels new with different size tires up front. the place i bought my fr500's from has silver, and black saleen wheels with tires for around 7-800 and chrome for around 950 or so. i substituted all 4 tires that come with it for different sizes and it was only a 35 or 40 dollar charge.

so i should consider myself Fuct unless i do the spindle jive
:duh:

you can run a spacer, and no center cap, but it's going to stick out and rub like a mother with a 265 up front. i personally wouldn't do it, but it's up to you. you could always buy the wheels and put them in the garage for now. i bought all my front conversion stuff from a 95 with brand new calipers, pads and crossdrilled rotors for 200 and my father bought all stock stuff for his for 110 dollars. it ends up being cheaper for the most part.

these are the wheels im going with.... not the sc wheels.

[Green92LX]

yes, i know. those do not fit correctly with lincoln rotors without work. the SC's actually do fit, but don't hold me to it.
