You'll need the conversion parts from a 94/95 Mustang (best fit)

The 50resto kit wont work with those rims

I used SN95 Cobra brakes up front and sn95 GT discs in the rear, but you can go the junk yard route if your budget concious. I've got Ford 03 Cobra's with 245/45 Nittos on mine.

4 lug wheels with 5 spokes look horrible in my opinion

you MIGHT be able to get them to fit with spacers and mild modifications....the rims that DO fit with teh 50resto kit:
94-95 GT rims (tribars and waffles)
94-95 cobra rims (dif. then 96-97)
95 Cobra R's
I think there is a couple more, but i can't think right now

How much do the parts add up to for the brakes / rotors etc ... ? And is it pretty much bolt on or is there alot of modding involved?

I was told the 275's will rub your quad shocks depending on what brand and you chance hitting the fender lip if lowered or the suspension is fully compressed...don't know if it's true...just going by 'hear say' but my 245/45's clear fine

245 is the max i could go up front since it is lowered. i went 255 out back but could go 275 flipping the quad. View attachment 511332
