    I finally was able to get to Stockton Wheel and pick up my new wheels and get tires mounted.

    Thanks for the input from you guys.

    I went with chrome magnum 500's, 15x7 and 205/60x15 BFG's up front and 245/60x15 out back.

    Nice!

    Looks great!
    How about some more pics from lots of angles in the sun?
    That is a nice looking car.
    Well done!

    Hey Hotrod I don't remember seeing your car before. Did it used to be lowered? Anyways that is one sweet looking ride. With the magnums and chin spoiler that car is the "opitomy"(spell check please) of what a gabber should look like.

    WOW! Nice looking car! I've been thinking about putting a chin spoiler on mine. This clinches it. What do you have on the center caps? When I've looked at Magnum 500's, the only thing I've found for anything other than Mustangs is a Ford crest.

    Bob, that's a gorgeous car! After years of saying that I'd never have another blue car, I've changed my mind. I LOVE that color. Well done!

    Sam :)

    Hi guys, Thanks for all the comments. I'll try to answer all the questions above. I took some shots in the sun, but the color washes out. I'll try again today as I have some time.

    I have the standard Magnum center cap and it just has a circle in it. I'm gonna make my own Maverick centers soon. I'll post them when done.

    The car was lowered more then it is now. (see photo below). It is still lower then stock now, but I kept hitting the spoiler and when I got a flat I couldn't get the floor jack under the car to pick it up. I cut one coil out of the front and the rear springs have just settled a bit.

    This is the before new wheels/tires/springs

    Nice job Bob. Yours is one of my favorite Mav's out there. I just really like the clean nearly stock approach.

    Thanks guys. I have always liked Mavericks and have been very happy with this one (my third) and the fact that you, my peers like it as well.

    Thanks !
