    will g50 tires fit under the back of a maverick? And, is it ford rims and dodge rims that interchange or ford and chevy rims. locally there is a guy with g50 tires on 14 inch ET slots for 75 dollars and im wondering if they'll fit.

    Usually it is ford and dodge rims that have the same 5 lug pattern, chevy went their own way.:cool:

    thanks, that is what I was thinking, but the ad says fits dodge and chevy, I think he is mistaken, hopefully g50's will fit.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Take a tape measurer, and measure between two holes across. fords use 4.5in bolt pattern,measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other one across it. hope i didnt confuse you, lol.

    It might be one of the wheels with slotted lug holes with inserts that can be fitted either way.

    I doubt the tires will fit with out jacking up the rear of the car. (That means "raising the rear of the car")

    How old are those tires? They may not be safe to use.
