Been looking to buying these wheels but after doing the research it looks like i need a front and rear 5lug from a 94-98 in order to install these. Anybody ever installed or done a swap on a 5.0? And is it worth to go out of my way to find this certain year. Thanks for the help

This is a very common & simple swap that has been around for years, search "5 lug conversion" on any mustang fox forum & you will get the answer.

Thanks, just need to see if 17 in front and 18X10 or 18x9 in back would be a better choice.

I have 18X10 out back, they fit, but only with fox length axles, plus you will need to roll your fenders as well.

94+ axles are longer than fox axles. You either need to buy aftermarket axles for a fox body or axles from an 80s & 90s Ford ranger to keep the fox length, otherwise the wheels will poke out past the fenders. You will also need the 5 lug drums as well.
18x9 will be easier to fit, but most do 18x10 out back.

Latemodelresto has the whole 5 lug setup to help me fit the fr500 so might go that if i cant find something else cheaper than 400. Thanks for the advice bro uve been really really helpful
