about 1/2 inch more on the track width for the 1996 spindles than the 1994 bad if you want to run 17's or 18's on the rim and tire

so why cant you run 17's or 18's, i am pretty sure that wrong, cuz for one, thats one of the main reasons people swap to 5 lug and also hella people run 17s with this setup.

Here's the scoop.

96+ spindles push each front wheel out 8mm further than the 94-95 spindles.

94-95 spindles have a curved tie rod end mounting arm. This means you are more likely to require a bump-steer kit if your car is lowered. The tie rod will we less parallel to the ground compared to the 96+ spindles.

I can tell you that I personally would NOT use 96+ spindles on a fox 5 lug conversion. I have 94 spindles and my car is close enough to rubbing. I would not want them to stick out anymore.

That's not to say it won't work. Some people have gotten them to work.

You can learn a lot from my site:
