I have a 1990 GT Convertible. I have a set of wheels that came off another car. I am going to do the 5 lug conversion, which will give me 5x114.3mm. However, the wheels are 5x130mm, and I know backspacing is okay. Here are my questions -

1) Can I get rotors and/or rear axles for a 90 GT that have 5x130mm bolt pattern (instead of 5x114.3)?

2) I thought about wheel adapters, but I was told they will add another 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" on each side. Is this very noticeable. (I don't think it will work anyways as the wheels are 17x10 in the rear)

3) I have heard of places that can actually change the bolt pattern on wheels. Is this a good idea? Is it possible? Is it expensive? Is it safe?

If anyone has any other ideas, I'd really appreciate it. It would really be alot easier if I could just get the rotors and axles in 5x130mm.

Thanks for the help.

You can order the axles from moser, strange, mark williams or whatever with any bolt pattern you desire. Drums and rotors can be redrilled the same way. The axles could possibly be redrilled as well. It may be possible to drill the axles as well. Depends if there is enough metal in the flange.

I dont see any safety issues. Dont have a clue about the cost. Seems to me it may be cheaper to buy the right rims. Definately easier.

that could be tricky, getting a rotor in the front that will work, not sure if you will be able to find one and not sure what you can do, but the rear will be no problem, its just the front you have to worry about

5 x 4.5" is all you'll get for up front.

5 x 130mm is about 5.1". No way can you put that bolt circle on a stock Mustang rotor. the hub circle is too small.

Even out back, a 5 x 5.1" BC won't fit inside a stock ford drum.

Sorry but it won't work.
