$149 doesn't seem to be too bad of a price for a set of four. I know my options on rotor/spindle/caliper 5 lug swap parts but i would rather leave my current rotors/calipers/axle shafts alone because the stock setup works fine. I would like to go the cheap and easy route as long as its safe.

Im want to run 18x9 chrome saleens all around. The adaptors are 1.75" thick and the saleens have a 5.95" backspace (+24mm offset)

Do you think rims will fit, especially sticking out a bit? I won't have a problem with using low profile tires, this would be a street/cruising setup.
They won't stick out just a bit. The 18x9s will be 3/4 to 1 inch further out anyway. With the adaptors being 1.75 thick, now you're 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 further out. At least there'll be no problems rubbing on the inside though.
hmm..might look kinda cool that way.

Not without some dingleberry window trim, shag carpet on the dash, and big fuzzy dice.
no i said 18" wheels, not 13" wire wheels

no "dro's" either.

I don't like it.I would just do the proper 5 lug swap instead. That is just my $.02
yah..like i said i was looking for a quick and easy swap but ill just put a real 5 lug conv. on the every growing "to do" list
Get a rear assembly out of a Lincoln Mark VII. I got one with a 3.27 limited slip and disc brakes from Picknpull for 82 bux. Bolted it in and the track width is just wide enough to make my rear 18x9 Cobras fill in the rear fender lip. Im using the same wheels and tires on all 4, 18x9 24mm offset with 245/45/18.
I feel the same way. Do the swap instead of those adaptors. I did my conversion with little problem and its still stock looking.
