I've been told that if I run Lincoln 5-lug rotors and go back to my stock spindles. My wheels should tuck under like so..
Heres mine
I them emailed Matt90Gt from(http://mjbobbitt.home.comcast.net/mustang/4lug.html) and he stated that it doesn't mater how you convert to 5-lug the rim will still sit the same. So I guess I am getting conflicting statements, but this guy has the pics to prove it. When running the lincoln rotors I've been told that you have to grind down the hub of the rotor like so...,so that the wheels will mount correctly.  
Has anyone tried the Lincoln rotor route w/ an 18x9 24mm wheel? I seems like the Lincoln rotors allow the wheel to sit in a bit more. If this is true would it be the offset of the rotor that is allowing the wheel to tuck in or do the SN-95 spindles really increase track width? LMK what you think.
Thanks
G.C

I heard the same about the center caps too. But I wonder if it could be custom fitted. I will let you know about the sn95 spindles once I do the swap. Jees this whole conversion is costing a whole lot more money than expected, I wish I would of knew this in the begining ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
