    Most have 14" x 4 1/2". A few I have seen have 14" x 6".

    Never seen 14" x 7" on a Maverick from the factory.

    If you're buying new wheels, think about going with a little larger diameter wheels. 14" tires are only going to get harder to get.

    I went with 15" Torq Thrust because I already had them but if I hadn't, I probably would've looked into late model Mustang wheels and spacers. Takes off are cheap on Craigslist and the tires are easy to find.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    X2 if you're doing a concourse restoration then stay with 14s if not 15s are the way to go.

    Around here I cant find any 14" tires that would look good on a maverick. I can only find 195 and smaller.
