$75 is hella cheap, youd probably spend that much sourcing ranger drums and brakes just for 5 lug

I agree,.. for the price for the whole axle its hard to pass up. Even to resell to recoupe money doing a fox-8.8.

If doing the SN95 rear and you plan to use welds,.. the standard 15x8 with 5.5 BS no longer apply,.. you would need a 6" BS to run wide tires with out them rubbing into the fender. I dont think Weld makes the 15x8 wheels with that back space. Only the 15x10's have a 6.5 BS,.. and they would be too wide on the outside with SN95 length axles.

If you planned to run 'typical' 17x8 or 17x9 wheels,.. then you would have more options open to you.

If your dead set on staying with Weld wheels,.. do yourself a favor and stick with a fox width rear. Rear discs are really over rated. 90% of the stopping is done by the front wheels. If you plan to run SN95 style 17" wheels,.. then you would be fine with an SN95 width rear.

There are many options to get 5 lugs on your car. Do some research first before you make a final decision.

I will agree though,.. $75 is a hella good price.
