Default 5 Lug Conversion For Fox Mustang

Looking for 18 inch wheels for a 1990-93 5.0L Mustang, there doesn't seem to be any options for the 18" size. So Im aware most people convert their cars to 5 lug bolts to fit this size of wheel. Anyway I know Ford Motorsport sells the rear axle kit under part # M 1226 A which is the axle shafts and drum. But I still need 5 lug front rotors for the stock brake system. What are my options for rotors that are from common sellers? I know Motorsport had a kit under M 1102- C, but there is question that rotor has been discontinued or not.

Anyone? I was researching and found 1984-86 Mustang SVO rotors may fit 1987-93 GT cars, and also Lincoln Mark 7 rotors. But Ford Racing mentioned the Lincoln rotors may be slightly large to fit properly, so this makes me think the same for SVO. Can anyone confirm these rotors work without modification or machining?

check into Lincoln town car rotors. I seem to recall that a buddy of mine did a conversion with these. I don't remember the year (early 90's mabey) but I do remember they were a direct bolt on with no modification at all. I'll let ya know if I can get in touch with him to find out more.

Personally when converting the 4 bolt system I had stock on the 89 LX, I went with the 94-95 SN body spindles and bearings from JC Whitney all the way around, allowing for the Bear 14" big brake Pro-Plus sytem (4 piston calipers all the way around). JC Whitney was very helpful as well as the tech people at Baer. The thing is, even if you go this route, you have to get the pattern sheet from the rim manufacturer in order to send that to the co. manufacturing the rims if you are going to use anything over stock size rotors for stopping power. Being you say in your sn you have a 351, I assume, perhaps correctly, you want more stopping power than stock. The other way to go about this is to go with the Cobra Kit by Ford, p/n M-2300-K, which provides far more than enough stopping power for most applications. However, if you have a set up like mine, that is not exactly sufficient, lol. So I had to go with either the 13"ers or 14"ers with multiple piston calipers, albeight the 4 piston set up is a little overkill, by my own admission. Doesn't do too badly in point standings in the shows, and damn well stops on a dime when I hit the red line on the strip. So, really a matter of personal preference, choice, etc. and finances/money each person has available. Best of luck.

Lincoln Mark VII front rotors or 84-86 Lincoln Continental front rotors are 11" and direct fit on the 87-93 5.0 Mustangs.
