I thought you bought rims?

I'd get northracecar brackets and new axles and swap back to the fox width.

You will likely need new brackets because the axles are shorter, thus the disc won't line up with the old bracket anymore. Probably be about 3/4's inward. Remember the bracket is secured to the housing, so when you pull the axle in, it doesn't move.

This is why i used 95 cobra discs+calipers, and used stock length axles and NRC brackets. I could always add spacers if necessay.
But, i had a head start on most internet people, since my car has had 5 lug drums since 1990, so i knew to keep the stock length.

Your wheel choice is anything that Ford made with a Hub Cap or the lug nuts are covered and early Real '95 Cobra R rims.
