5 lug rotors or go all out

[BK_CAULEY]

hey guys im debating on just buying some 5 lugs rotors for the front of my car for my 5-lug swap and want to know if fr500's will fit. i can guess and say NO i want to know if anyone has actually tried with stock 87-93 spindles and 5 lug rotors or do i have to have 94+ spindles and rotors. i have had 99gt wheels on a pevious car and had no issues. just curious about these wheels.

Not sure about those specific wheels, but generally speaking....most of the SN95 wheels will not fit on a 5-lug rotor/hub mounted on a fox spindle. That is a common upgrade, using Mark7 front rotors because they are 5-lug....but they are still a hub/rotor and the center of the hub sticks too far out through the center of the wheel.

If I were you, I would step up to SN95 spindles so you can have the hubless rotors and you will have NO issues with wheel fitment.

I put m7 rotors on my last car and as stated above and used 99 gt wheels and had no issue's that why im concerned if this is just a common misconception or is it fact.

my bullit wheels dont fit right because the spindles are off of a mk7, I have to use the 1" spacers for em to fit right. The fr500's will prolly need the same.

fr500s shouldnt fit with just rotors.....

Its Fact, very few SN Wheels will work with just the Lincoln Rotor, ones that have a center cover like the Stock Ponies usually work as in your case with the 99 GT Wheels.
