Incentive to convert to 5 lug

CarMichael Angelo · Dec 5, 2011

Well my wheels arrived today. (1 week AFTER my birthday) better late than never. I'm excited to get the thing converted over now so I can get them on.

Centerline Billet 17 x 7's, and 17 x 9.5's. kinda look a bit like a Keystone Klassic.

I got the axles for the rear sitting, waiting. (trying to decide on whether or not to use Ranger drums, or just go and convert it over to an SVO/ Cobra rear brake as well. I'm on the look for 94/95 stuff for the front, guess I need to read up on the required "peripherals" I'm gonna need to make that happen.

look nice... cant way to see them on

Ohhhh them are shiny. You should do 03/04 cobra brakes up front with 95 spindles. Then cobra disc brakes in the rear

Those look good and all.

But I think you should look for a nice set of pony's... I think they'd look a lot nicer

Ya think? Know anybody that has a set?

Mike, those wheels are sick! The easy way would be lincoln mark VII rotors and ranger drums. North race cars now has front and rear parts for a Cobra conversion.

What is the diameter of the Lincoln rotor? Is there a difference between the braking performance between using that rotor, and the wusskin 4 cylinder rotor I currently have?

smokin joe · Dec 7, 2011

The lincoln rotor is the same as a 5.0 fox, I believe it's 10.94 and the 4 cyl is 10.08. If you have 4 cylinder brakes you will need to get V8 spindles too. I don't know that it will really make that much difference which is why I am collecting the parts to do a "cobra" 4 wheel disc / 5 lug conversion.

The commonly asked question "sticky" post on brake discussion would be a better source of information on this subject though.

Already read it Joe. I agree, probably wont be worth the time to change to another weanie sized rotor albeit .86" bigger than what I currently have. I'm going Friday to pull off the junk on a 95 wreck'd GT.
I'll probably just do the same, and "Cobra the thing up."
