Well, I'm getting ready to order a few parts for the mav next year and rims are on the list. I'd like to put 15's on it. Will there be any clearance or rubbing issues?
Like Dennis said, no problems if you are using the standard rims and tires. The problem is if you want to go to a real wide tire.
You can't use some old pre-'75 factory steel wheels and some old style mags because they will hit the brake caliper if you have disc brakes.
Yeah, I always wanted to get custom rims and figured why not go the extra mile...No pun intended. Thank you for the well-wishes.
On a side note I have a list of cars with the same bolt pattern as the Maverick. Does this look right to you? I still haven't seen a search for maverick rims that has turned up with a result. I have a set of Mustang svo rims I want to get, but I wanted to make sure they fit. Here's the list: AMC Gremlin, Hornet, Pacer, Javelin, Matator, AMX AMC - most models (exc.
