I have 10" regular drums on my 2000 Ranger and want to go finned. I need 2.803" for the hub center, the Aerostar drums are only 2.538" and won't fit the 1998+ Rangers (someone should make note of this in the Tech Library btw).
So I got looking at other 8.8 axles and found the Crown Vics/Towncars of the 1980s have a 10" finned drum option that is 2.5" wide and uses a 2.785" hub center...*almost* perfect. Anyone know if they will fit (other than the hub center)?
Also got me thinking, there was a finned 11" x 2.25" drum option on these same cars, think they'd fit a Ranger? I guess you'd need all the parts, but I don't see why not.
**EDIT** DOESN'T FIT THE CENTER.
