What year is the car and is it an LX or GT?

That's not even a foxbody then is it? I thought 80-82 was same chassis as a granada.

1980 T-Bird should be a fox platform so all the swaps pertaining to a fox Mustang would apply.

Ford use to make a 4 to 5 lug replacement hubs and rotors for the fox and thundernirds, if they still do who knows. but on my 83 I changed front and rears and bought new rims and tires cheaper than those Chitty 13.5 metrics.

I am pretty sure the t-bird was not a fox chassis til either 82 or 83 there was a bodystyle in between the big ones and the fox chassis.

I just looked it up and I was wrong it says it is a fox chassis.

Thunderbird was a Fox chassis starting 1980. It was based on the Fairmont which was a Fox.
