Need some advice one 5 lug swap/sn95 brakes setup

Reply #30
I am running the North Race Car brackets and Fox axles on my Bird with a Fox Mustang 8.8.  This is approximately 0.75" narrower per side than the SN95 setup.  If you have long studs installed in the axles and run some 1/4" spacers you should be where you want to be.

These are what I am running on my 93 Coupe with an SN95 width rear end and 3" long wheel studs:

I needed to kick the wheels out 1/4" to help with the tires rubbing on the inner fender under hard cornering around off camber turns.  I massaged the inner fenders with a dead blow but the spacers gave me some added clearance which is more confidence to hit the curves at Hallett harder.
