That would be a good looking car if you put some 17" wheels on it...

Yeah I looked at your post but I was distracted by whatever the hell those "wheels are".

I missed where you said you were disc.
Don't ask questions if you seem to think you already know the answers

The wheels were only a suggestion. Obviously it's your car and you can do whatever you want to it.

The only thing I can recommend is some therapy. Anyone that would put giant wagon wheels on a Fox is obviously in need of help.

Guys, just answer the question.

jrichker said:
Five lug Turbo Coupe conversion:
Use the 94-98 axles Mustang axles. Use 1990 Mazda MPV 3.0 V6 front rotors (10", 5 lug x 4.5" pattern, 2 7/16" offset ). While you are at the auto parts store, set a TC rear rotor side by side with the Mazda rotor and they are the same except for the offset.

The next step fixes the offset problem:
Use a Maximum MotorSports 1/8 spacer (MMWS6, Maximum Motorsports :: The Leader In Mustang Performance Suspension ) between the inside of the rotor and the axle flange. The spacers may need to have the OD machined to fit properly. The stock rotor offset is 2 5/16" and the Mazda rotors are 2 7/16" offset. The 1/8" spacer puts the rotor back dead center alignment with the calipers.

The Mazda rotors are under $30 each, and I have seen them for $20 each. The MM spacers are two for $30 + $9 shipping. So the entire package costs $99. That saves $41, which most of us could find a very good use for.
