dude to be honest if your gonna do the job you mine as well make sure you have ALL the right parts, I know you can buy a complete kit from 50resto for 400$ and that includes everything. I did mine.

Beware of the 5.0 resto kit, it limits the use of which wheels you can use because you are using stock spindles.

I would go the 'junkyard' route, the resto kit limits you to wheels off 94-95 gt's stock and a few other choices, but you would probably have more choices if u just stayed with 4 lug. I think if your going through all the trouble of changing everything, might as well get disc's in the rear as well. Try to find an entire set-up from a 94-95 mustang (easier said than done most of the time)

I personally don't see what the big deal is about 5-lug anyway. A lot of rims will fit the stock design not to mention there are a good deal that are made in a 5-lug conversion as well! Pick your rims you want first then decide if the 50resto kit/stock spindles with the large hub design will work and second if they are even 5 lug in the first place!

Most people don't do the 5 lug conversion for the rims. The main attraction is more and better brake options.
