    anybody running 18's on their maverick? thinking of running 18's all the was around...maybe 17s up front..anybody got pics? 18's is the max id go, theyll fill the wheel well nicely, show off my rotors and give the car an updated look. not sure what wheels but i did like the Boss 338, they look good and they only run for about 800 for brand new wheels and tires.

    I think the biggest I have seen guys running are 17s. I think you may run into some clearance issues up front denpending on what aspect ratio you go with on a set of 18s. I am going with 225/45/R17s and that is pretty close to the limit up front. I have heard of some guys running 255s or more in the back but not with 18s.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    www.maverickman.com hes running 18s in the back. In the front they look way too big. 17 is the max i would do. But ive seen them with 18,20,22 even with 30s. And yes most looked horrible.
