Converting to 5 lug

Hey guys what is the cheapest way to convert to 5 lug? For the front I already have the mustang spindles and 5 lug rotors. For the rear end I got a 89 mustang diff 8.8 I heard ranger axles will work but not sure. Will any other axles from other cars be interchangable thanks guys lmk.

Using the Ranger axles will pull the wheels in 3/4" on each side.  The 94-98 Mustangs axles are the same length as the TBirds.  I'm not 100% certain (haven't messed with drums on a Fox in a while), but I think the TBirds and Mustangs use the same drums, if that's the case, then you "should" be able to use the SN-95 Mustang axles and a pair of Ranger drums (you might need to turn down the "hub" on the center of the axles to fit the smaller holes in the drums)

Two right side Ranger axle shafts will work great.
