I took it to my sticker Guy and had it striped and all the accessories as mine.<br />
Hers&#039; came with black rims that she liked so I ordered a set of black stock Ford tires and rims to match hers&#039;.<br />
I have spent the last three days cleaning them up.<br />
they are gloss black powdercoated with a lot of hazing, nothing scratched.<br />
called my powder coating Guy and was told you can&#039;t buff and polish powdercoated rims...<img src="styles/mmbCustom/smilies/huh.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":huh:" title="Huh?    :huh:" /><br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a 70, I put in 4 link coil over in the rear. So no leaf spring problems. I want to get the biggest rubber under it with out rubbing. Looks like I may be able to fit a 9.5 rim in the rear and 8 inch in the front. Im not sure to go 16 or 17 inch. I like the torq thrust. I know tire sizes are limited some on both 16 and 17 inch. Any experinece or advice would be helpful. I&#039;m sure some of you have done this already. Ride height is adjustable. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.]]></content:encoded>

OMG  14 inch rims, 15, 16, 17 18, with spacers without spacers, some 14 inch rims apparently are 4.5 inches wide, some are 6 some seem to be eight.  Holy smoke, I need help.  My 1973 Maverick  4 door, 250 six auto has 185/75 R14 on it now.  Does that mean it has 4.5 inch wide rims or are they 6 inch rims?  The tires are on so I can&#039;t measure across the empty rim.  Would a stock rim have a label on it to say 4.5 or 6 inch?   If I have 4.5...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have read 33 different posts about tires and wheels and I am more confused than ever!  I have a great looking 1973 Maverick 4Dr. with 4 wheel drum brakes.  The car has super narrow 185/65 R 14 tires on skinny 4.5 inch rims. Because the other half holds the purse and I have a 97 Suzuki Sidekick, a 99 Cavalier Z24 Convert. and an 04 Ranger my budget is limited.   I would like to by great wheels but it isn&#039;t in the cards. So  in order to get bigger better looking tires I need to be happy with...<br />

And he said the 72 had a smaller pattern.  Did Ford really have a smaller pattern for 5 lug wheels?  That surprises me. Anybody seen anything like that ?]]></content:encoded>

I&#039;m looking for a sanity check &quot;Will this work&quot; or &quot;Here is a problem you&#039;re overlooking&quot; response.<br />

I have a 1973 Ford Maverick Grabber.  I&#039;m buying new wheels for the front and back.  The wheel/tire combo currently on it when I bought it rubs the front when I turn, and the rear tires look skinny to me.<br />

At this point I feel like a broken record with wheel questions but here goes...<br />
<br />
Bought 4 American Racing Ansen Sprints, which these guys happily sold to me during a 10% off sale but have now informed me that they are backordered with no estimate of arrival due to covid.  To frustrate me further I have already purchased some BF Radial TA&#039;s 205/60/15 for the front and 235/60/15 for the rear.<br />
