5 Lug Conversion

I found a set of chromed 03 cobras and i wanna know will the 5 lug conversion kit from 50 resto fit the bolt pattern to those wheels thanks...

They should be the same bolt pattern. 5x4.5" pattern. The thing you need to worry about is if the center of the cobra wheel is deep and wide enough to accept the nose length of the rotor. It doesn't on the bullit wheels w/o a spacer.

sopmeone told me that i could get spacers to bolt to the 4 lug with the 5 lug pattern on them is this true and if it is where would i get these at?

 

[PRO50SC]

It's true but not really a safe way to go about it. The spacer is like an inch thick and will throw your wheel out too far. Do it the right way, you'll be happier in the end.

so does anyone know if the wheel will fit with the hub? of the conversion kit

I don't have the answer to your question, but I am doing the same as you.

I am doing a 5 lug conversion and going to use 03 cobra wheels.
I am using 94/95 spindles/hubs/calipers/rotors on the front and aerostar axles and drums on the rear.

Got most of the parts so far. Just waiting on the wheels.

The wheels will work with the conversion you are doing. It's the fox body rotors that are in question.

no, cheap front rotors do not work. spacers do not work either on a 9" wide wheel unless you like it Mexican

 

[84blkstang]

so what rotors will work for the 03 cobra wheels? and will they fit the rotors in the 5 lug kit or do i need to get the 94+ rotors

 

[Matt90GT]

You have to get the Sn95 spindles, brakes and all necessary parts to convert over.

Quick intrusion on this topic. I'm doing the sn95 conversion. 94/95 brakes up front, aerostar axles+drums out back. Will my stock m/c be ok? Or do I have to get a new one? Reason im asking is, im planning on converting to cobra brakes in a few months and I know i'll need a new m/c. I'm just trying to piece it together now for affordibility.
