opinion on rims

[DEFWISH]

i picked up these rims for $100 for my 87 gt fox! Should i polish them? polish just the face? any opinions?

[grey5.0beast]

Polish the face and the center cap...

 

[DEFWISH]

no i still need to convert em to 5 lug. Is there a cheaper way than buying a kit?

 

[Ozz]

www.sn95brakes.com - read up There are plenty cheaper ways than kits.

I remember reading a back issue of Car Craft where they used rear axles from a Ranger or Aerostar (same rearends) to convert to 5 lug. They had to use two of the same side axles for some reason (I think two lefts).

you would only be using the drivers side so you need to source another ranger rear end for the second.

 

[DEFWISH]

ok. my ranger's still goin like a champ anyway lol so it can keep its parts for now.

love the mullet pic lol

 

[mustangjoe87]

Mullet + Iroc Camero = Match Made in heaven, and when they get together it ussually results in a trailor hitch on the Iroc

I just checked the Car Craft article and only '83-'95 Ranger, Bronco II and Aerostar left side axles work.
Its the November 2005 issue. It says that the axles from an 8.8 or 7.5 rear end work.

You can get axles from a Ranger or an Aerostar.
Aerostar axles are implanted in my Stang.

 

[spiff]

They should look pretty sweet, get that sucker another lug and pop em on! Then post some pics

 

[MAC'n89Blckstng]

I'd keep the machined face if i were you.

 

[prez1967]

i have a set of those from a 97gt. They are machined and look almost polished. Sharp wheel but for sale if anyone is interested...

 

[iwashmycar]

i think you have to do the sn95 conversion up front for those wheels

i love those wheels

 

[88gt]

For those wheels, yes, you need the sn95 up front. However the ranger/aerostar stuff will work on the back until you decide to go 4 wheel disc.

See sig for the ultra buget 5 lug conversion look. SVO fronts - ranger/aerostar rears w/drums.

**HEY...iwashmycar** I like your wheels!!!-------copy cat..
