Good day all!
Old member here that hasn't been either board in over 10 years since I built my MkIII....so welcome back for me!

I am looking into pulling off my 4-bolt (yes, 4....) GT500 rims and I think I want the American Racing Shelby VN427. I am going down the rabbit hole of what I need to purchase for the 5 bolt conversion too....Help

Does Vintage Wheels offer the most straight-forward ordering/setup process? Are there any wheel vendors here to help?

Looking at this right now: https://vintagewheelsus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_62_94&products_id=633

The resto-rod supplier companies that specialize in Mustang II type suspensions sell five lug conversions, look at Heidts and/or Fat Man:

Thanks! I had spoke with Richard at NRC and got some info on what i could go out and buy from the market to make this happen. Rock Auto and even Breeze.
