Can I use 94 stang axles in 88 rear ?

To get the 5 lug setup, can I just swap thesee for the two differant years ? Thanks

They are longer by 3/4" with all of that outside the housing. 88 rear has drums so if you plan to retain them the backing plates will be too far in. If you are converting to discs you can use SN95 brackets and calipers, effectively converting it to SN95 specs but keep in mind that it will be 1 1/2" wider than it originally was in the Fox body configuration so that will have to be considered for wheel and tire selection. Most go the other way and convert SN95 rears to Fox width.

Even though your going 1.5" wider, you can still gert a TON of tire stuffed in there.

The coupe has a lot of room for wheels. I have the same combo with the Cobra rear calipers, brackets and disks.

There are fox length 5-luggers out there. I have a '93 housing with (I think) '88 Ranger axles. I have 295's in the rear, and another 3/4 inch axle width would have been fine...
