    Weld Draglites for a fox mustang will work,the Maverick bolt pattern is the "other" pattern(they're a dual bolt pattern wheel).

    i found them on summit racing... question

    3.5" back spacing on a 15X8 rim and a 2556015 tire.... is that good.. or do i need a 4" back spacing for the maverick?

    i hear people saying that a 3.5 will work for 235... but a 3.75 is needed for a 255.


    clarification needed... thanks

    I had some 15x8 Prostars on my Comet years ago,they had 3.75" backspace,plenty of room by the springs,kinda close on the outer lip,oh yea was running a 235/70 TALL tire.Outer fender lip was rolled,no problems.

    I found some good looking rims that are cheap. tehay are from unique wheel INC. and they are called chrome modular. The size is 14 x 6 will these fit on my car? bolt pattern is 4-4.5, but thing is, in the pic, it shows it as a 5 lug. This the wrong picture or did they just substitute it? dont know

    duster, Almost every manufacturer of wheels are guilty of this. They take a "generic" picture of what the wheel looks like and then they usually have a list of what bolt spacing they offer for that type of wheel.

    American Racing used to have a wheels visualization application on their site that would allow you to see what a certain wheel would look like on your car. That was IF they actually have your type of car in the database.

    You probably don't want more than 4.25" of backspace,but "cheap" wheels usually don't give you an option as to what backspace you want.
