Last night I stabbed the same guy 7 times in a row
Even if it did come in four lug, the hub design on the Fox spindle is too big. I doubt the wheel would even mount completely

duh. I just looked at the center and realized the 5 spoke design. I thought the hub area of the wheel was a separate design independent of the outside spokes. should have looked closer.
Like I said i will do the 5 lug conversion, plus i will get rear discs out of the deal. Geez why doesn't everybody do a 5lug? It seems only logical.
Oh look Daggar has has THE wheels! Damn those are nice! So what kind of 5lug conversion did you do? Ranger axles? FRPP conversion? Did you get a good price on the wheels? I also want to get a deeper dish in the rear, maybe have the fronts an inch narrower.
That's a funny quote too Daggar. I had a dump fall off my exhaust once after I hit a bump. Very funny to see stuff falling off your car...

Yeah... I have "the wheels" lol. What you see in my sig is a photoshop. My 5 lug conversion is complete from front to back off of a 96 and still sits in my garage patiently waiting for me to find the time to install it. lol I'll be using the entire rear axle housing out of that 96 and doing a 31 spline conversion at the same time.
All of it is on hold until the new motor is done (latter part of june).
I got all the braking components from the junkyard for $400. I got everything. Cables, brakes, calipers, the whole nine yards. I also got the rear axle housing and front k-member. Basically, the guy at the junk yard lifted the car with a forklift and I showed him where to cut to ensure that I had everything I needed.
I'm with you though... Deep dish for the rear is a MUST!
Mustangtuning.com seems to have the best prices and their shipping is free.
What I REALLY wanted was a set of one-off Magnum 500s in 17 inch but the price to get them is huge. Tire selection is also an issue since next to nobody makes raised white lettering anymore, prticularly in 17s. I couldn't justify it seeing as how good the FR500s look and how much less expensive they are to get.
Here's the shops I've got:
If i had a money tree, this is what my car would look like:
Here are FRs (non deep dish):

Me too! I found a place that can cut them is just about any size and any off-set desired but they're BIG $$$ whereas the FR500s come premade (of course) with the correct offset for SN95 axles and spindles.
Mustang5L5 has been my "go-to" guy for the brake conversion. He really knows his stuff when it comes to putting together what parts are required to install the the wheels and give you the braking you want. This seemed to be the best way to go for putting a 9 - 10 inch wide rim on the rear and some 8s on the front. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for a set of PBR calipers for the front but am not in dire need of them. If I come across a set for a great price, I'll ****** them up but I'm not pressed.
