    Never put air shocks on a Maverick. They WILL punch a hole through the floor of the trunk. My brother's '72 Grabber had air shocks. Picture below is of the trunk, just behind the rear seat.

    Anyone ever run a 245/60r15 up front? I want to but will have to trim and grind a few things. I don't see an issue but if someone knows something I don't????

    I'm running 235/60/15's on 70's Dodge Cop Car wheels up front with no issues, 245's are only a 1/2" wider and 1/2" taller so you should have no problem, but of course that also depends on what wheels you choose (back space and width) My cop car wheels are 7" wide with a 3.5" back space
