Some 5 lug rims don't work with those rotors. The only way to be sure is to do an actual spindle swap from and SN95 GT/V6.

The rear setup should work I am almost positive the front will not because the hub being too large, I believe that 5-lug front setup is the same as the Lincoln rotors and I have seen a couple threads where people have modified them to work with those wheels. Avoid the headaches and go with SN95 Front spindles for the front. You open up a huge selection of wheels going that route if you ever decide to change.

+1 for SN95 spindles

+2, even more desirable (to me at least) are the cheap very good brake upgrades available when you go this route.

yes they will work.

you would need to decide what rear brakes you want to run either drums or disc's. For my setup I'm running Ranger drums but would eventually like to run Cobra Rear Disk. If you plan on running disc you would need to get the appropriate brackets. The link NikwoaC supplied is basically all you need. GL!

I just finished up installing these axles, but I got the kit with new 5 lug drums as well. They come with the wheel studs so all you need besides that would be the gear oil and I would install new axle seals as well for good measure. I had no issues at all with the parts everything installed smoothly.
