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.

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.

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

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.
