Hey guys, I am all into my power brake and clutch cable install on my 65, Now My daughters 92 Stang is needing tires. I want to swap the 4 lug to 5. I am going the cheap route- Ranger rotors and aerostar pass. axles because I already have these parts. My question is- If anyone has done this, what bearing/race combo is needed for the front? Also if I want to use 94-04 or 05 & up wheels what spacer will I use?
Thanks, Mike

I have done this a few times helping other people and it has been done to my car. There are several ways to go about it. As you said for the back you can use Ranger axles. For the front a cheap way to go is to use Lincoln Mark VII rotors. My car has Lincoln disks all around, but it does limit the wheel selection, as the front bearing cups sticks out.

Now you can if you have access, and it is the better way to goes is use 94 or 95 spindles and rotors up front. This maintains stock track, but you can also use 96 and newer, but it widens the track slightly, but give better steering geometry.

There are a few web sites that lay everything out, give them a look and if you have any more question I will be glad to help.
