    You will need the 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. Sounds like the wheels you are looking at are either uni-lug or made with two patterns.

    The 5X 4.75 wont work...Mavericks are 5X4.5 bolt spacing. rim width shouldnt be a problem provided the offset/backspacing is correct.

    Hmm...Unilug...Make sure the lug nuts have the proper depth...

    They're unilug. But if you really want that "look", you'll want wider rear wheels. 7's are just basically stock width..

    Two spares??? So how do modern cars get away with a doughnut that's probably only 75/80% as tall as other tires???

    Use a 14" and don't worry about it... There is a reason it's called spare...

    I agree, It's all about the diameter of the wheel, not the rim size. (y)
