To run those tires in the rear you need to retain the fox track width (axles).
Do you want rear disc brakes or will you only be changin axles an drums?
Do you want to change spindles calipers rotors lines etc. or do you only want to change the rotor assy??

Its simple... & that kit you want is not that pricey to do your 5 lug swap.
REAR:
Remove wheels and old drums.
" rear end cover.
" c-clips.
Re-install new parts same way removed plus servicing the rear w new fluid.
FRONT:
Remove wheels and calipers.
" dust shield cover on brake disc.
" cotter pin & nut.
" brake disc assy.
Re-install new parts same way removed plus installing a new cotter pin and fresh grease on the inner and outer rotot bearings.

the center caps wont fit on the front wheels unless you grind the shit out of the rotors.
the `94/`95 spindle swap with sn95 brakes is the real way to do it.
some good write-ups are here:

Ive heard people run nitto 315s on a 10" rim and rollin the fenders in the rear. Supposbly that brand tire runs smaller?
me personally have never ran that tire/wheel combo i run 275 35 18 st. tires in the rear & cobra brakes all around myself. As far as a 10" wheel goes it will fit w/ the stock length axles that come in the kit you want.

Did anyone forget to mention, You also should upgrade the brake booster and master cylinder from a 94/95, than you need the proportioning valve elimination kit and an adjustable proportioning valve, and you will have to re-flare your front brake lines or find the adapter kit for the brake lines, and if you just swap out the axles out of the housing than you need the rear hard brake line that goes across the axle if using rear disc.

I don't think hes planning on doing rear disks with his five lug conversion.
