    Here is a pic of the wheels and tires we are going to put under our Maverick. The wheels are 17 X 9 Mustang GT wheels and the tires are 245/45X17 Goodyears. Later guys.

    Those look nice on the Mav. Will they rub at all? What rear end are you running? That looks very, very nice. I like the look, and I can't wait to see it done. Any estimates on when that will be?? :)

    Thanks guys. Right now the rear end is a stock 8 inch Mav. rear. Will have to use 1 3/8 inch H&R spacers for this combo to clear. The tires clear the spring by about 3/4 to 1 inch. They clear the rolled inside fender lips by about the same distance. The suspension has new poly bushings in it. We haven't driven it yet but I don't anticipate any tire rubbing.

    funny thing is I saw a 66 mustang in my neighborhood the other day with those same wheels on it, thought it looked real sharp.

    Looks great!
