MUSTANG WHEEL ADAPTERS4-4 1/4 TO 5-4 1/2-4202
They supposedly slip install onto the 4 lug hub and get bolted on, then the top section with the 5 lug conversion gets secured and then walllah you can throw on 5 lug rims. Anyone know of these. They were listed on Ebay below. the bidding has ended but they didn't sell. Any thoughts?

I know a few ppl that used them in the past, you have to be careful of the tire rubbing the outside lip of the fender, ( or possible roll them )
The other alternative,
You can use front rotors from a 83-88 4cyl. Ranger direct swap to give you the 5 lug up front ( pick these up at a local bone yard and have them turned ) 30.00
you can use axles from 83-92 ranger/bronco II ( double check this , its been a while ) i was looking for reciepts i had of mine.
It may cost a couple of dollars more but you have a true 5 lug setup. Theres just something about spacers I never liked. Plus you dont have to worry about different offsets on the rim
just my .02
Wow, those are kinda thick (1 3/4"). You can get the 5 lug conversion from Late Model Restoration for $399.95. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...ART~M1ROTDRUMS
Or the salvage yard route, which I heard front rotors from a Lincoln Mark VII and 2 right rear axles from a ranger. Not sure on the years.
Those would make the wheels stick out so far in the front.
Yeah that's what Cobra94 and I were thinking. I just thought that if anyone had used them they might have an idea of what it would be like. It's a quick way to bolt on some 5 lug rims and Cobra94 hs got some.Quote:

i have run 1 1/4 spacers on the rear of my 99 for the last 2 years with no problems. but iam not sure i would want to do that with a 4 lug and not on the front....
