I finally finished my 5 lug swap last night.
I did the rears using Ranger axles and the front using '94 v6 Mustang spindles.
It rolls on '03 v6 Mustang 16" wheels.

Unfortunately its still in the bodyshop.

Thanks.

The swap wasnt terribly difficult. It only took a few hours. I did it on a lift so that was much easier than on the ground.

The reason I went with 16's is that I had just bought new tires for my stock wheels a few months before I decided to do the swap and didnt want to buy another set. I dont really care much for big wheels anyway.

Are the V6 spindles you used similar to the SN95 spindles so you can use any 5lug wheel?

Theyre v6 SN95 spindles. V6, GT and Cobra models all use the same spindles.
