![]() This might sound silly but dont you already have 5 lugs? Never heard of early stangs with a 4bolt pattern.

![]() Not sure if you'd be up for this, but if you wanted to mount some late model 16" or 17" wheels, you could order some spacers that would have 5 studs for your new wheels that would bolt to your 4 lug hubs. No one would know it's a four lugger.

![]() My '68 coupe came with 4 lug drums, and I used a Stainless Steel Brakes Co. 5 lug disc conversion on it. I've had it on there for 7 years now and I put around 12000 to 15000 miles a year on the car, and it works great.

![]() im currently doing the same you are with my 67 coupe and im going with a 8inch 5 lug rear end and 5 lug granada spindles with disk brakes. Are you converting to a V8? Me personally if you are going to keep the Inline6 i would just leave the 4lug spindles.

![]() If possible when converting to 5-lugs stay away from granada parts. The reason for this is if you want to upgrade to rack and pinion or make any other front suspension mods the granada spindles and calipers are not compatible with a lot of aftermarket parts. Find parts for mustangs that had disc brakes. The original calipers were 4 piston. With the right master cylinder they work great.
