hell. my name is bartok. i am new to the forum but active in other forums. i am considering an rear end purchase for my 79 widebody rx7.
it comes from 87-88 t-bird V8/w- 4 lugs and discs. it has perfect width for my rims, flare to flare, but it has a wrong lug pattern.

are there 5lug axles swaps, and to i need to change more than axles?


thank you. bartok.

94-98 Mustang

You can use the axles and redrill the t-bird rotors to 5-lug...or you can just install the axles and brakes.

There are 10" solid and 11.65" vented versions

isn't (94 up)wider rear end than fox(t-bird?)i think it is, so how come 5 lug axles would fit?-can these axles be matched to aerostar of bronco 5 lug discs, to stay with stock t-bird calipers?

if i want to go stock i have to upgrade brackets, calipers to 94-4, and then i'll have option to go stock rotors?
