    I want to get hubby some new wheels for his Maverick, but I don't have a clue as to what wheels would work with the bolt patten. I had '92 chrome ponies on my stang..when I got my welds he was going to use them on the Maverick, but they would not fit...any suggestions??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. His birthday is coming up pretty fast!!

    Thanks,
    Monique

    is it a 4 lug if so you`ll need some wheels with a 4 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern if it has been changed to a 5 lug it will be a 5 on 4 1/2 lug pattern hope this helps

    Wheels are kinda like shirts. There are so many different kinds and everyone has their own taste. It would be a shame to make such a generous jester only to pick out a wheel he really doesn't like. Its already been stated that the bolt circle is 4 1/2" on either 4 or 5 lug. If possible, you might enlist the help of a buddy of his to make sure you get ones he likes. Wished my ex thought like you do.

    Welcome Monique, If you know how many lugs and there patterns you can go to different sights and match up the wheels available for your application. I found mine at: www.discounttire.com GOOD LUCK.
