i have had spacers like that on the front of my 96 ranger for years so i could fit the wheels i wanted and i have never had any problems. it has never had any abuse like a mustang would though, so im not so sure i would trust them in your application. a junkyard 5 lug swap would be a safer bet.

Spacers are one thing, but a spacer that changes patterns is another. No way would I run those.

Just bear in mind when you do this that the Mark VII rotor hub will not fit some wheels. Sometimes you can get away with banging in the spindle bearing cap for clearance, but even then, some wheels still won't fit on 'em. I wish someone would post up a definitive what-will-and-what-will-not-fit sticky when it comes to Mark VII rotors on a 5-lug Fox conversion...

Like I said. I do not plan to use them I just found it intresting and wondered if anyone had used them.

Joes wheel came off because he used a spacer and then the lugnuts barely threaded on..... lol

I wouldn't trust my life with these things either. Granted as far as "spacers" go they are better than the ones that are merely a ring that sit on the hub as they actually bolt in place, but to convert the lug pattern, no thanks.

If your doing 5 lug set ups for $175 your getting good deals. I personally spent a lot more than that for mine, but also did rear discs, SN95 stuff etc... My pick and pull wanted $75 EACH for ranger axles and only had one when I was shopping. Had to drop $90 on Ebay for them. I got the front stuff all together for about $200-250 but you need to get small misc parts for the brake lines. Then factor in the Master Cyl and Booster for the rear discs etc.. You can do the Ranger drum/Mark VII rotor set up, but I see no point other than asthetics.

Man I need to start selling parts on ebay! I gave $20 for axles & $45 for a pair of spindles with the rotors & calipers from a local yard. I've bought two sets of spindles from him for that price, I had to pull them though.

if you use the crappy spacers thats common. i paid over $100 for 2 spacers for my truck. they bolt to the hub, and they have another set of bolts pressed into them so you have the proper amount of threads. i dont know how much i wold trust them with a vehicle with a lot of torque.
