5 Lug Swap

[MUSTANDsspDEW58]

Will the rear end out of a 95 fit in my 90? I measured it and I didnt think it would work. I also want to run 10 inch rims in the back. Any imput would be great. Thanks

Nope won't work. You can use the brakes though.

I put a 95 rear in my car with no problem,if your car is lowered with a 10 inch rim it will rub.If you just swap the brakes it will still be the same width as the 95 rear.

[nitrostangracin]

Actually it will work. With a 10 inch rim you just need to get the correct offset to center the rim under the car properly.

i have a fox dody rear in my 95. they are exactly the same. the only difference is the brake assembly and brackets

X2 Great source of information on the swap there.

actually if you use 18x10 rear wheels from an s197 mustang they will work just about perfect. the 95 rear end is 3/4" longer per side. and the s195 wheels are .7 inch different in back space... it just might work, and would fit pretty much the same as my rear whels and tires.

for 94-04 cars (same as is on my car)

I am accutally running what I believe to be a 96 rear with 01 bullitts and they fit just right, however I have not looked in to the ten's for the rear, seriously yet. X3 on those links that nova provided, they should help with you install. That is some good info.

trust me ive allready looked into it

it depends on the wheels to be run. if a drag wheel than the 7.5 is right, and slightly preferred because you can add a small spacer. if he wants an 18 rim it will have to be a 7" back space to get a common (ie reasonably priced) wheel. either way its gonna take beating the crap out of the inners and taking care of the outers.

thats because the bullits are so narrow, and your prolly only running a 245/45 tire.

another here with a sn-95 rear in my coupe.. this may not help but i put my 15x8 JEGstars w/5.5in backspacing with 275/50 ET street radials on it and the tire stuck out about .5in

This is some good info. So pretty much on a 93 i could go get a rear from a 94-98 GT and swap it in if i wanted to run a 8inch wheel?

I know it says to use the ranger axels if you want to go to a 9 inch. What if you want to run a 10inch? Stick some 305 or 315's under the rear?
