    im hopefully buying a mav for $500 but the tires are probably shot and the wheels rusty.

    Older Grand Cherokee (pre 98 I think) and most Wranglers until the last body style change have a Ford car bolt pattern. I ran a set of Wrangler wheels on a Ranger once. Later the Grand Cherokees went to a metric pattern as well as the new Wranglers.

    does it have the same backspacing as the 95 wrangler? it seems that those have 5.25" which will not work.

    best bet it to just measure them yourself, or ask the seller if he can do it for you.

    Would probably look good, but I'd have to cover that Jeep logo with something.....

    I have run them on my Toyota. The back spacincing is greater than the preferred 3.5 - 4" on some models

    If you find that the wheels will work, grind off the " Jeep " logo and pick up the Maverick logos from Craig Selvey.
