Looking to do a 5 lug swap, and put on one of these. Ive heard that fr500 are harder because you need ranger axles. But would it be easier just to do the latemodelresto 5 lug swap kit with the sve's? Anybody done either wheels? Just looking to be informed before u purchase sn95 5 lugs or the late model ones. Wich way would u go?

Depends on what you want your end result to be. 4 wheels disc or stick with drum? Fox length will get you more clearance for larger wheels I believe. Standard gt rear disc is an easy swap or you can go all out and use nrc brackets and cobra rear brakes and keep fox width. It's really just a lot of options, and configurations.

Just to get it done go get some ranger or Aerostar axles (look up what side is which yourself) a new 9" drum swap it all your stock fox 8.8 you will be good in the back for the most part. For the front, you could do it 1 time and get it over with, with some cobra front brakes like most people end up with anyways. Or some stock 94/95 brakes will suffice. Like I said lots of options and avenues you can go with

Good luck getting those 315's to fit. No quad shock perfect offset, rolled fenders, beat the inner wheel well and run nitto's only you might get lucky

A lot of people run 315's in the rear with 10.5 94-04 offset wheels.. fox length drum, remove quad shock, roll fenders, a lil tough love on the inner wheel wells, and usually a lil 1/4" spacer to help with excessive rubbing.. sits almost flush with the body and looks mean as hell from the back!!

Yea mine is lowered, ima roll my fenders and hopefully run 295's since it seems 315's might be too much

Depends on. The tire profile on the front wheel. I'm going good with 285 in the rear on my 18x10 and 255 up front on 18x9. I prefer the side walls to look about the same for the to back.
