There is a lot of wheels you can use if you do the lincon rotor swap, But if you swap to SN95 spindles you can use any wheel.

Something about the front spindles... I cant remember, but I believe where the tie rod ends attach, is further out so the tie rods have to be adjusted waaaay out.

Best way is '94-'95 V6 spindles, and 2 left hand ranger axles... but I can never remember what year.

You could, but it's going to push everything out.

If you wanna run 15" wheels, I was told they would rub the larger diameter rotors. I ran Ranger 4cyl rotors on my notch for that reason...

If you run the SN95 setup I would imagine they would because the rotor is a little larger, setting the caliper out more. But if you run the Lincoln Mark Vii (7) rotors WITHOUT ABS, they fit right on the 5.0L front spindle and you can use your stock brakes... and 5.0L cars came with 10-holes... which were 15".

John, I've still got that 5-lug rotor/spindle set up that I showed you when I brought your seats...

My setup will be fox a-arms, SN95 balljoints, '94 V6 spindles/hubs/rotors, PBR calipers, and in the rear it will be Moser 31spl. 5 lug axles. Disc brakes eventually. I'll be running Bullitts for the street and welds for the track.

I've personally run 15" wheels perfectly fine over dual piston PBR calipers on 94-95 spindles. Cleared everything fine.

There's your proof.

And thanks for the reassurement James! I hadn't seen any solid proof on that...

I've actually got a 14" wheel to ALMOST clear stock GT fox brakes...

There were some 'minor' clearance issues... BUT it fit, and spun on the rim

Yep, and they were actually the little jank 3 spoke 99+ V6 wheels I had on the car when it was in paint.
