This has got me stumped...
I'm tryin to get a different set of rims for my fox body Mustang. It is a 89 GT with a 5 lug conversion and Summit Prostars. Here's my question; Is there a way I can tell which 5 lug conversion my car has? I'm trying to find out if they used Lincoln/ Ranger or s-95(whatever the heck that is). The guy that has the rims says they will NOT fit on his Stang with the Lincoln swap. From what I've read it's due to the rotors being to large. This is my first Mustang so ANY input would help.
Thanks
Thanks

Dirka-The stud's match up on my rotors/axles with the wheels. BUT, the guy I'm looking to trade with has the Lincoln conversion on his foxbody and the front wheels won't mount up. Thats why he's getting rid of them. I'm tryin to find out which ones I have before I trade so I'll know if they're gonna fit or not.
I don't know enough about the suspensions on Mustangs to tell the 3 different conversioins apart.

Sorry I re-read your previous post and seen that you said the studs line up with the wheels. Now are they the same rim size as the ones that are on yours?? If it were me I would prolly just take off the dust cap for the wheel bearings and take it and see if it will fit thru the center of the rims you wants to trade for if that is the only problem you are worried about. But that is just me.
