well i couldnt find my exact answer with the search . so the question is i want to do the conversion on my 1990gt and from what i hear people are ahving issues with the rims sticking out more then stock... is there a kit out there that will not make my rims stick out .? if any other info is needed to answer the question better just ask .. im at work and shouldnt even be doing this lol. thanks in advance:D
 
I did the SN95 Conversion and it adds 3/4" per side, I actually like the look of the tires being pushed out slightly as it makes the stance so much nicer than the sucked in look of the stocker.
 
thats not what i am looking for.. am am looking to put on wider maybe 10inch rims or 9.5 what ever can fit under the rear so i dont want them sticking out i am looking for a flush fit so to speak.. i have seen it in pics on the web but no idea what they used or size rims

5.0 Resto has a complete 5 lug conversion kit that locates everything in the original position for $400. Kit includes axles, drums, rotors, seals, bearings, friction modifier and 3 quarts of gear oil.

this is the kit i used..install was insanely simple and i am happy with it.

this kit is almost purely cosmetic tho. you still retain the ****ty fox braking power and the front has large dust caps like the stock 4 lug and this prohibits the use of certain wheels unless you use a spacer:nono: and then the wheels will stick out anyway [with the spacer that is]

use sn95 setup with better brakes and just solve any fitment issues with proper backspacing, which i sont know much about lol...

cheap conversion!!

buy two drivers side axles out of a late 80's early 90's ranger, bronco, or aerostar van. note you need both driverside because the passenger side is 3 inches shorter. Also even if it is the shi** 7.5 inch rear its on the 28 spline will work just fine. the simply replace the mustng 4 lug with no problem no mods. now for the front. buy new rotors or take rotors off the same truck/van and use the same pads and calipers only drop the mustang bearings into the new rotors. oh and get the physical drums off the rear same thing only with 5 lugs use same shoes

Not exactly correct. From the Aerostar you use the Passenger side axles. They were a lot easier to find around here. The Ranger rotors will only work with the 79-86 cars and the 87-93 4 cyl spindles. The Mark VII or SVO front rotors fit the 87-93 V8 spindles. And make sure the rear drums are the 9" ones as some of the trucks and vans have 10" rear drums.
