Fox-Body Mustang 5-Lug Swap
Since their introduction in 1979, Fox-body Mustangs (and the Capri cousin) have been a blank canvas for performance modifications. And one of the most popular additions is a new set of wheels. Aftermarket wheels help you personalize your Stang—but truth be told—you be limited if your Mustang has the stock 4-lug setup. Fortunately, BrothersPerformance.com makes it easy for you to upgrade with the Fox-Body Mustang 5-Lug Swap.
With the exception of the rare 1993 Cobra R, all Fox Mustangs were equipped with 4-lug rotors and axles from the factory. The 5-lug swap kit from Brothers Performance adds strength and gives you the opportunity to pick the most modern wheels for your Ford Mustang. Chances are your Mustang is ready for new rotors and drums anyway, so you can service your Stang and upgrade at the same time.
Brothers Performance Fox-Body Mustang 5-Lug Swap kit includes new front rotors from Centric (with new bearings and studs), and new 28-spline TEN-brand axles with bearings, seals and studs, which are stronger than stock and feature a 10-year warranty. You also get new rear brake drums, plus two quarts of Redline gear lube and a bottle of Ford Racing Performance Parts friction modifier. The extra lug per corner helps to spread the load, and of course the TEN axles increase durability.
When it comes to Mustang wheels, there are far more options in the 5-lug configuration. Enthusiasts recognize that 5-lug wheels offer improved looks and performance. This swap is especially important for racing. And once you check out the Fox-Body Mustang 5-lug Swap kit, you’ll want to browse our wide selection of Mustang wheels.
Additionally, this is a great DIY project that you can complete in an afternoon or a weekend. When doing the swap, we recommend new brake pads and shoes, and new lug nuts won’t hurt either.
This kit does not fit 4-cylinder or Cobra models. Note: Kit can be used on 4-cylinder and 1979-86 V8 models if 1987-93 V8 model spindles, struts, and calipers are used.
