any one have pictures of the different disk brakes that can be on a 5 lug swap? i know i dont have SN95 brakes. im trying to figure out which rear is in my car. i want to run a 15x10 on it and i think im going to need a very strange off set. my stock 96 v6 wheels are already to the fender so im thinking im gunna need something bigger like a 7.5 offset. to pull it in the fender more

For OEM 5-lug setups there are:


SN95 GT/V6
SN95 Cobra
84-90 Mark 7/84-86 SVO
91-92 Mark 7

Unfortunately i don't have pics of all. If you can take some pics, or at least rotor dia. It would help narrow it down.

good news is some of those can be modifed to bring the wheels in more

Widest would be the Mark 7/SVI setup. ABout 1.25" wider each side vs stock fox drum setup.

Everything else is 0.75" wider each side.

The Mark 7/SVO, and SN95 setups can be modified to run same width as fox drum. The 91-92 Mark 7 setup may be able to be modified, but to be honest, it's such a rare brake setup nobody has it.

Snap a pic of the MC setup as well. It could be a clue as to what you have

Can't really answer that question without knowing what you have on your car

From those pics.

1993 cobra booster
assuming a 1993 cobra MC
84-86 SVO/84-90 Mark 7 rear disk.

How's your pedal? Is it a little on the soft side?

That is the widest setup @ 1.25" wider each side. Good news is it can be modded to be same as stock drum setup

Yes, that's it. You'll need to weld and grind the brackets though.

There is a MUCH better writeup on how to do it... i'm trying to locate it

Yes. I did this also. I think you need to use some washers also to space it out if i remember correctly.

I will look for the link also.
