Looking for pics for 96+ 5 lug conversion...do the rims stick out due to the wider stance?

Here are a couple of cars I found online with the spindle swap. The first red one says it has 2000 GT spindles and brakes. I'm not sure what spindles you want to go with, but there are a few members here that know a guy who can get spindles all day long and brakes for a good price. Ask around and they can tell you...

Front: 96-04 spindles. 17X8 Bullit's +30mm offset.
Rear: 1999-2004 solid axle. 17X9 Bullits with +45mm offset.
Hope this helps,

96-04 spindles are 8mm wider than 94/95 spindles (per side) 94/95 has curved steering arm for less bump steer on fox (has to do with ride height) 96-04 has alittle better suspension geometry than 94/95 96-04 will accept all brake calipers, 94/95 need some casting clean up work around the inner radius to fit (about 5-10 min. worth each).

grab an 8 millimeter socket and look how much 8 millimeters is! i changed over to 04 spindles for bump steer reasons. also know that the angle of the radius arm of the 94-95 isn't going to help at all if your car is lowered. to be perfectly honest bro, when ichanged from 95's to 04's i looked before and after and honestly didn't see any difference!

there's a note though - do not use 96+ spindles with a stock K-member.
