I need help on switching over to 5 lug wheels? I heard that i could use lincoln markvii rotors but what year? Thank you.

You can use 85-91 Mark VII rotors if you have a 87-93 5.0 Mustang. Pre 87 5.0s, which had puny 10" rotors, would need to have their spindles upgraded to the later model. Check out http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net./ it should answer all of your questions about your options for swapping to five-lugs. Note your limited wheel options with the Mark VII rotors.

I'm using '94 17 + 8 inch six spoke wheels. Will the lincoln rotors work with this wheel? I think i have about 3 inch's from back side of lug nut holes to the center cap. any help is good help.

Not according to the site in my previous reply. You will need to get 1994-95 SN95 spindles, hubs, calipers and rotors if you want to use your center caps on the front.

The 5-lug Ford Motorsport will get the 10" 4-lugs to 11" 5-lugs like I did on my 1978 Zephyr Z-7 with a 351W:

If you with to go 5-lug, see http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net for excellent write-ups on how to convert.

I personally did the 1989 4-lug to M2300K Cobra 13" with PBR calipers (soon to install the new Brembos I just bought).
