Yep,4 lugs.For me,it didn't make since to swap to 5 lugs to use the same thing I can buy in 4 lug.I can still upgrade to Mustang suspension,and bigger 4 lug brakes,but mine sem to work just fine.Pics as soon as I get the tires mounted and balanced today.It sounds freaky cold out there.The wind was supposed to get up to 20 and 30 mph today,and the temp in the 30's.I have to change my heater core.I need a new garage.

I don't have a choice but to get it done.It's either be cold and change it,or be cold everyday while driving.I'll take the "be cold for now" thing.It's an investment in winter comfort.

Good choice of wheels. My wife has polished aluminum R's on her 95 Saphire Blue (Violet/purple) Mustang GT and what a difference those wheels made!

Cool!!!!!!! Heater core changes are not too bad in the t-birds. Id say I did mine in about half a day. It helped that I have done Mustang,Camaro,and one in a 88TC I owned when I was 21.
Ive also broke my foot,and changing the heater core was less painful.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh and cool on the wheels. But PICS ARE NICE!!

O.K.,here's where I am with the car today.........The heater core is finished.One hour and 55 minutes from start to finish.Thanks Eric for the link,it went smooth as glass.Next,I installed my air shocks.Before anyone says anything negative,hear this.Once a month (I work for the State,so pay-day comes on the last working day of the month),I carry home about $550.00-600.00 worth of groceries.Try filling the trunk,back seat,and passenger seat and watch the tail of the car take a dive.SOOOOOOO,airshocks installed,but no air yet.I keep the car level until grocery time.The Cobra R's are on and looking good.Now I need to get the interior swapped and paint.Pics tomorrow.I want to eat and relax and get warm.It was friggin' cold today.
