5 lug for a 86 GT
 
I recently purchased a 86 Gt and would like to know the easiest way to replace the factory 4 lug rotors witha set of 5 lugs. Thanks

The easiest way would be to get 5 lug rotors for the front (keep the stock calipers). Swap to 5 lug axles in the rear then get 5 lug drums off an aerostar or ranger. But I say if you're going to the trouble to swap to 5 lugs might as well upgrade to better brakes while you're at it. Check out this site for info on different swaps.

Thanks, the car alreadyhas 5 lugs in the rear. The front was never done, but I have the rims for it.

If you have 10 inch brakes, ranger rotors (80s) will work, If they are 11 inch, I believe late 80s Lincoln MK7 rotors will fit. This is the cheap way.

Not sure about an 86, but I used the front spindles and parts from a 95 stang so I could go 5 lug and fit the 17X8's up front on my 88. You could find them at a local junk yard too most likely
