I was wondering what 5-lug rims would fit on a foxbody with 5-lug conversion that can use the front center caps/hub caps. I noticed that most 5-lug converted foxbodies do not have front center caps, but a few do. Does it depend on the rims or the type of 5-lug conversion done?

you can use the mark 7 front rotors or the sn95 front brakes, the mark 7 rotors you cant use the center caps on certain rims and the sn95 you can the ceter caps

so if the car currently can not fit center caps, then its Mark 7 rotors? Would i be able to fit sn95 rotors with the rest staying the same, or do I have to have the whole sn95 brake setup to use the sn95 rotors? Assuming that the car has Mark 7 rotors, is there any way to make the caps fit?

its really easy to see if its 5 lug converter the ghetto way or the right way.
the SN95 front setup uses a hub with the wheel studs in it, and holes in the rotors for the studs to come through. The Mark VII rotors are fox style and have the studs in the rotor.

yes, take a dremal or a grinder to the hat on the rotor to round it off so that the wheel center caps can fit.

center caps wont fit becuase the dust cap is to big, you can also take a mallet to it.
