I just realized that you have pro stars...but they are 5 lug and foxes are only 4 lug. How did you get 5 lug, Ford Ranger parts?
Yeah, I could only get the pro stars in 5 lug and I really wanted them, so I told John to convert me! LOL
But 4 to 5 lug conversion is really not as difficult as everyone thinks... And Ford Ranger parts are not the only solution!
For the front of your car you can use the rotors from a 1991 Lincoln Mark VII. That is what is on my car.
For the rear, don't bother calling Ford or going after Ranger axles... Call Automotive Engineering or Gearhead (locally in Tampa Bay) and they sell a Mustang 5 lug conversion kit for somewhere around $200 that includes two Motorcraft drums and axles. Ten times cheaper than going to Ford and getting the axles and drums from them, but Motorcraft IS Ford... go figure! LOL
Anyways, the grease seals and bearings for the front and rear will transfer over, but I wouldn't recommend re-using... replace them.
