I am doing a 5-lug swap and installing 17" tri-bar wheels. I was wondering if I will have any issue using the stock brake setup when converting to 5 lug?

No not if you are using the 5 lug rotor (lincoln mark VII) i think? 91+
and the ranger axles.
if you go with a different wheel for sure the front caps might not fit.
but the car will stop the same.

I bought the conversion kit from a buddy that sold his car before converting. it has Yukon Gear Spindles and slotted front rotors.

How can I check to see if there will be issues with the front center caps fitting on? Are the brakes the cause for this issue?

Thanks!

Never heard of that conversion.

So you need to swap the spindles?? Why not just use Mark 7 rotors??
