86 5 Bolt Conversion

I Am New To This Forum And Have A Few Questions That You All Might Be Able To Help Me With. First Of All I Have An '86 Gt That Had A 5 Bolt Conversion Done To It Prior To Me Purchasing This Car. What I Wondering Is How I Can Tell What Conversion Was Used On This Car. Like I Said It Has The 5 Bolt Conversion And Rear Disc Brakes. Can You Tell Me A Way To Identify An Sn-95 Package? I Think That What It Maybe Becuase It Has '94 Rims On It. I Am Not To Familiar With The Sn-95 Parts. Also On The Right Rear The Tire Is Out Further Than The Left Side. From I Have Seen Underneath Everything Looks Straight And Nothing Wrong. I Am No Virgin To Mustangs I Just Have Never Dealt With Any 5 Bolt Stuff On Any Of My Other Mustangs. Thank You For Your Help!!!!!!!!

From the Other Larry....

If it is a sn95 rear end it will be 3/4 of an inch wider than the fox...but only on one side baffels me?

also to run the sn-95 front spindles you have to have a spacer made (washers) that goes under the castle nut...

If your running rear drums I tend to doubt your rear end is a SN-95, looks like they already answered your question regarding the front. Welcome to the board.

i am not running rear drums, this is why i think it is an sn-95 axle. i think who ever put this conversion onthe car found a wrecked '94 or something of the sort and stripped the rear and front rotors along with the rims becuase they are '94 rims.

that is also what i know about the rear end being wider for the sn95, but to one side has got me stumped also. have you ever heard of someone using a turbo coupe rear end? i've heard of people using these rear ends and having similar problems.
