Lincoln Mark 7 rotors and Ranger axles.

yep that would be it, your just limited to certian wheels

Is it the driver side or the passenger side? Ford Ranger axle.

and maybe a new set of drums also [patriot]

2 passenger side [patriot]

It's 2 driver side Rangers, 2 passenger side Aerostars..or one of each. Has to come from the 7.5" rear, 8.8 models will not work.

don't do mk8 spindles...you'll be screwed when you want to get wheels. you'll have to use cheapo spacers to get them to fit. pay a little more now, and don't get screwed later [patriot]

so what wheels wont work with this setup
 
Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
The years for the Ranger/Aerostars are 83-92. Wheels that won't work are basically anything with a 5.72" offset or less. Mach 1's, Bullit's, 98-99 Cobra's, wheels like those.

If you feel like spending as little bit of money and having nice new parts, FRPP has a conversion kit for the rear that costs about $200. It has new axles and 5 lug drums. I would fork up the cash rather than hunt through wrecking yards for old crap.
