Recently picked up two pony's- a '95 gt and a '90 gt. was going to end up doing the 5 lug conversion from parts off of the 95. My question is this............ do I need newer control arms on the front if I want to run 96-11 wheels?

Not for 94 to 04 wheels, they fit with the stock arms. As for 05-11 wheels, they will sit in a bit due to the different offset/backspacing. However the 18 & 19" wheels may hit the struts too.

No. You get it for the fox mustang.

All you are doing is bolting the spindles and brakes onto fox arms. You might need balljoont spacers or sn95 ball joints however

Ok so the spindle is what spaces it all out and not the control arm? I'm just wanting to do this right so that I have no problems down the road when I get my rims.
