5 lug conversion problems

gtnby2 · 10-07-2004, 09:48 PM

I recently bought a 5 lug conv. off of EBAY and it came in today. I also bought some wheels that where supposed to fit 94 and newer 'stangs. The rotors are SVO Saleen replacements according to the auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...TRK%3AMEWN%3AIT
and they say it is used to convert 87-93 to 5 lug. Problem is the hub is too long to fit behind the wheels (they hit in the center cap area). I have a set of 95 spindles I bought from a friend but I didn't want to change all that crap if I could just change the hubs. anybody out there swapped out for 5 lugs that actually work?
HELP!!!

sounds like they might be ranger hubs. a friend of mine had a 91 ranger and tried putting wheels from a 95 on it and it would work

What kind of rims did you buy? The svo rotors although 5 lug won't work with most 94' and up rims. Because of the larger hub...as you found out. Bottom line is you'll either have to get a different set of rims that will fit or swap to a 94' and up brake setup. Sorry dude.
