bullet rims on a fox body
 

Hey all,

just got my car painted and the chrome ponies aren't lookin like they ised to. Anyone ever put those new 2000 17 inch bullet rims on a fox body. Yep, I know, 5 lug conversion.

The real question is, how would black bullet rims look on a black GT?

The bullit rims look great on the Fox body's. I've seen it done on a couple different cars.

They go really nice with a black paint job, as one of the local Stangs here is setup with that.

I plan on the cheap 5 lug conversion, Mark VII rotors up front and ranger axles in the rear. Will I have any issues on with the rims?

My car is also lowered about an inch. These are 17 inch rims. Any problems there?

I have no idea if there's any problems with mounting them or not.

Dont mean to cut into your post whatst he deal with the Mark VII rotors, they bigger then stock mustang rotors and do they use the same calipers?

For a 5 lug conversion, the mark VII rotors are cheap - they bolt right up, the Mark VII is basically a fancy mustang, its based on the 5.0. Not sure if the rotors are bigger.

Is that for the front and back?

Just the front. If you can find a Mark VII parts car, the rear disc set up will swap into the mustang. Otherwise, you can use axles off of a 91 ranger (2 drivers side axles will work). They'll work and they're 5 lug.

so how much does the "cheap" 5 lug conver. cost?

You can buy new 5 lug rotors for the front and new axles and drums for the rear right from ford for right around 350 dollars. Thats what I did. I am running 94 cobra wheels and i think they look sweet.

I'm pretty sure the lincoln rotors won't work with Bullit wheels because the center cap won't fit. Same issue with 98+ cobra wheels. I've heard of people using spacers to get them to work, but you should really just use SN95 spindles and rotors to do it right


Heres a picture of one with them on it. Not exactly what you're lookin for, but here they are on a coupe

IMO, black wheels look terrible on black cars. Just go with the grey finish.
