5-lug on a Fox

[Phatt_daddy]

It has been a while but didn't someone post a link to a very descriptive write-up on using the ranger, bronco II, or the areostar rear axles and the sn95 front spindle setup? If it was on here I need that link again.

Thanks,
Nate

Why not just use SN95 Axles?

Because the Sn-95 axles are longer by .75 inch. I mistakenly put them on my car when I first did my swap and they rubbed the rear fenders like hell. You have to use "Fox" length 5-lug axles from a Ranger, Aerostar, etc.

What in the world kind of wheels did you have on your car? I have Cobra Brakes on the rear of my car with Bullitt wheels and my tires dont rub at all and the car is lowered about 3/4" all the way around. In fact I think the car looks a little better with the slightly wider rear axles as the tire fills out the fenderwell a little better than stock!

Are you sure you did not have the 99-04 Axles as those are Wider and will not work on a Fox car?

We did the sn95 swap on my pals 89. We changed the entire rear from a 95 cobra to his 89. His tires in the rear rubbed like a mutha. I know many say they have not had a problem but we did. Another buddy who is a body man had to roll his fender lips. Problem solved.

Did you use SN95 Wheels, or something aftermarket with a different offset?

We put on 17" Chrome Y2K's, then we tried his 16" black Cobra R's. I have no clue about the off-set of them. I know the Y2K's were bought for his 95. And the Cobra R's (knock-offs) were bought for his Nitto's. But thats all the info I know, it could be a different off-set.

I would say it was an offset prolem as I have Factory Bullitts on my GT with SN95 Axles and my tires are not even close to rubbing.

What size tires are you running?

I want to get oem Bullitts as well, and have been wondering which axles would be best...

I have the Factory Bullitts with the Factory Goodyear 245/45/17s on the car.

I think Factory Bullitts look great on any Fox Mustang, they look like they were made for the car!

just wondering, would it be wiser to do the sn95 front conversion, or just swap out the rotors with the 5 lug ones in that kit. you can get them same front rotors from north racecars for 99 plus shipping. i also want to upgrade my brakes too in the future so most likely the sn95 conversion would be the answer.

Looks great. Do you think there's clearance to run a 275 width tire?

I'm wondering that as well. Can you use those rotors with any SN95 spindles & calipers?
