i think youre going to have to provide more details as far as what "method" was used to achieve that 5 lug conversion. i have completed that project, using 95 spindles and NRC bracket/axle kit so i know about that method.

ur car probably had the el cheapo 5 lug conversion done with ranger hubs, unfortunately u will run into alot of the later wheels where the center cap will not fit. only wheels that will work with that setup are the cobra r wheels.

Yup sounds like just the rotor conversion. You are still going to be pretty limited on wheel selection unless you swap spindles onto it. Until then you can either cut a hole in the center cap, or just not run the center cap at all.

Sounds like you have what I used to have. You will need sn95 spindles. 94-95 will be your best bet as to what year you want

yup, the 94-95 front spindles will absolutely fix that problem, go to any junk yard around your town and you can pick them up for about 80 bucks
