5 x 5 1/2" MII rotors

I just found out yesterday that the MII IFS I bought has 4-1/2" bolt pattern but Henry has the 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Where can I get a rotor with the 5-1/2" bolt pattern that will fit the MII spindle?

Thanks
Mr. Ed

No 1974/78 Mustang II (it's actually a re-skinned Pinto!) came with a 5 1/2" bolt pattern wheel.

Originally these cars came with 4 lug 13" wheels on a 4 1/4" bolt circle pattern.

The aftermarket Mustang II kits may have used larger wheels.

Speedway doesn't have them. I asked when I first found out that the 4-1/2" ones I bought with their IFS didn't match my wheels. I'll look into the other two. I really felt foolish not knowing that the truck has a bigger bolt pattern until last night when at our weekly cruise I told my story and many of the guys didn't know that either.

Thanks

Ford changed from 5 on 5-1/2" to 5 on 4-1/2" some where around 1997 or 98, I believe they changed again around 2003.

I have looked at all of the options and then I checked the hub to hub dimensions and find that the MII is just over three inches narrower than the stock rear so I am going to put 1.25" spacer/adapters on the front which will allow me to carry one spare tire plus the front track will be .75" narrower than the rear and probably not noticeable.

Later!
