    quick question. Let me see if I have this correct. A wheel with 6.02 backspacing will set further in the fender than say a 6.11 backspacing. Just using real cobra rims and replicas for example.

    5-lug Swap

    Can you post what all parts you are thinking? You will need front spindles for the swap and 96 model spindles are wider than your factory width on the car. This means that your front tires will be sticking out past the fenders unless you are running skinnies. You really need 94 or 95 spindles...

    I installed them myself. I use a ProForm pinion depth tool and used FRPP 373 gears. The pinion depth tool showed that I needed a .029 shim on the pinion and the factory was .028, so I used the factory shim, which a lot of guys on here say if you use FRPP gears they always use the factory...

    5.0 Died at 10mph

    It is a good possiblity that it has jumped timing. If it is cranking faster than usually, timing chain is a good place to start.
