Did you notice any faster pickup between the 3.90 gears compared the the GSLSE 4.07?



Heres my problem..

I found some nice *** clean 15in Enkies...that fit 4x110



I already have the GSLSE front set up(BUT not installed)

its hard for me to get an GSLSE rear end..



I can get a GSL rear very easy..

They are not the same year as mine so I will have to get the drive shaft also which is no problem..





I want to stay with the GSLSE conversion I had in mind..AND I have brand new 16 in Yokahamas that I been saving to use..



Some one help me!!!!

Why don't you just run a GSL setup.Sell the tires off with the front SE setup.And make some money back.4x110 wheels are hard to find.I might look at some mustang 4 bolt rims to see if they fit.I really don't want to swap everything over.

Mustang rims only fit the SE pattern.



Just get the Enkei's and sell the -SE **** and the 16" tires to offset the cost of the rims and the GSL rear.

Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news.The 4 bolt rustang is a 4x108 pattern as the SE uses a 4x114.That doesn't come close to fitting the SE pattern.

I was always told that the mustang pattern was like



4x4.5 which is 4x114



I can get this GSL rear like the cost of water..I have one more resort I will check out before going to the GSL..



I found a SE rear like 45 mins away like 4 months ago workin in that area..The guy said If I didnt get it within the next couple days it would be gone..Well I need to take a trip out there and check..



It was sitting outside so the rear is mostly sieze..but I can rebuilt it..I hope..

You know, now that I think about it, the guy that I bought the wheels on my old Mustang from wasn't exactly the brightest knife in the elevator. No wonder his wheel place went under. (he said it was a 4x4.5" pattern)



They definitely did not fit the 4x110 pattern, I know that much. I tried to put them on my 81 S (out of curiosity) and they did not fit at all.

I've read about it on several websites saying the early rustang has a 4x108.If your saying it's 4x114 then it might be seeing as you have owned one.
