    Well, the lug is the right size, and the offset is neutral so backspacing to the leaf springs and tie rods should be fine at 3.5" - I guess the wild card is what tire would you put on a 17" rim? That might be where the clearance problem will be.

    I think the 35 denotes offset in mm, which would give this wheel a 4.8in backspace.

    Oh, that would be different. I thought (on my small screen) it was 3.5 so I figured inches.

    That would be too much backspace for most Mavericks.

    They will fit with the right spacer but if you go that route, buy good spacers and be safe.

    Ford 4-lug wheels are 4 x 4.5"...or 4 x 114.3. Why does it say 100 is 4.5"?

    That's kind of a personal preference thing. Do you have a certain look your going for?

    Definitely want to upgrade from these. I don't know if it's because of the rims or because the tires are so small
