4 lug fox bodies

can anyone tell me the idea behind why they made fox bodies 4 lug...i dont understand becuase the 84-86 SVO 4 cylinders are 5 lug so why are the V-8s 4?

The SVOs were special editions, like SVTs, so you'd expect upgrades on them. I think the '93 Cobra might have been 5 lug (anyone? Not sure), keeping the theme of better features on special cars. So...maybe that explains why they had five.

As to why the standard Foxs had four...money, maybe? I'd imagine it has to be cheaper to use four per wheel, 16 per car, than five per wheel, 20 per car. That is why they claimed the switch from forged pistons in '93, right? Gotta save a buck somewhere I suppose.

Anyway...that's my guess, might be completely wrong.
