This weekend I want to do the 5 lug conversion using the Lincoln rotors, I assume that I have to buy the bearings, grease seal etc. My question is and I just want to be sure that I can use the stock calipers still. I plan on running 15" x 3.5" weld skinnies up front. I do not care if I can't run the center cap. And I plan on putting on the longer studs too.

Thanks

Dave

The stock calipers will work with your conversion using the lincoln rotors,you can even use your bearings and seals from your 4 lug rotors if they are still in good shape, but not sure if your wheels will clear the calipers. All depends on the backspacing of the wheels.

Yea Im not sure on the minimum backspacing, maybe someone else can chime in and let you know if that would work.
