Will 17x9 Bullit wheels work on a fox body car with 5 lug rear drums from the Motorsport 5lug conversion? Will they rub the quads? Will the fenders need to be rolled? There will be 17x8s on front so I dont anticipate any rubbing up front. Any advice would be helpful.

will they work on the front with the FRPP 5 lug conversion kit? Are these equivalent to the SN95 pieces?

You will have to remove the quad shock. I'm running 17X9 in the rear and 17X8 front. If you get the 5 lug rotors you can use the Bullitt Wheels. I did the sn95 front spindles.

Does that kit come with spindles???

If you can answer that, you will answer your own question

thanks for the pic, that is what i wanted to see, looks good. About the front spindles SN95, what is the part breakdown list and differences between those and the FRPP kit if any? Do the 17x8 wheels rub with the SN95 kit up front at all?

No 17X8 don't rub on my car. I also have Gatorback up front which are not as wide as some tires.

I went to the junk yard and picked up the front spindles off a 94-95 V6/GT mustang. They included the spindles, calipers and rotors. I ordered new SS brakeline from MM so I scrapped the junk yard ones. That is it, take your old 4 lug off and replace them with the new ones. I paid $100 a side for mine you may get it cheaper.

Check these links out they help a lot

FRPP 5 lug set up uses a one piece rotor/hub design. The SN95 cars use a modular rotor and hub design in which the hub is sealed and does not require regular repacking of the bearings. This makes for a smaller dust cap. The FRPP kit uses the same large dust caps that are on the 4 lug rotors meaning you won't be able to run center caps on your Bullitt wheels.

the 91 will work but you may have more pedal travel before it brakes.
