I have a stock/original '88 mustang 5.0/5spd LX I am getting ready to convert to 5 lug.  I am working on getting all the parts in line so I can make get the work done in a weekend.

I have a couple of questions...

1) I am going to use the same drum brakes I have now on the 4lug axle, so I would have to buy new 5 lug brake drums .  What do I tell the parts house???  Is there a correct year ranger or a newer mustang that would have the same drum brakes I have now but in 5lug???

2) The 5 lug axles I have don't have bearings, does anybody have the part number for Green bearings and axle seals??

3)Lastly, will 2005 mustang GT wheels with stock size tires fit??  And what size are they???  There are a couple of pairs on my local Craigslist???    Heres a link      http://boise.craigslist.org/pts/607451073.html

Thanks in Advance???
Jim
any other advice would be appreciated as well....
