Since yesterday while I was at work somebody stole one of my center caps

and those wheels were discontinued sometime in the mid 90's .....
so now I am looking at putting bullitts on my car if I can find a cheap 5 lug conversion that will fit these wheels , this is the kit I am looking at from 50resto


http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-4234K 1&comp=LRS

It says other wheels will reguire mods to work , I am assuming they are using the lincoln rotors up front and that is why the bullitts would not clear , was hoping somebody could confirm this.

If I can't do 5 lug I am going to put 4 lug 03 cobra wheels .

Well, since those wheels are not on the list, I would guess they cant fit. But If you talk to some other guys who have done it before, I think all you may need to do is switch the dust cap on the front or whatnot.

some grinding on the center hub of the rotor may also be required. im not sure if you leave the dust cap off if they will clear or not. if you use oem 17x8 bullits you can get away with the 96+ spindles.

bullits will fit if you dont want to run a center cap. spring for the sn95 conversion you will be happier in the long run.
