    Tires

    I manage a European automotive repair shop in Austin, and I concur with the BFG's. However, for the money and reliability, Michelin are the best. Pilot Sports are worth the extra money.

    ok cool, I checked wtih the company and they emailed me back and said the tire can be stretched to fit a 10" rim, pretty cool. So I'm ok.
    man I can't wait to have them installed.

    if my math is right that would come out to 28.8 total size. So the questions is if you can fit a 29" tire back there, anyone?

    No. I've got 295/50/15's on mine on 10" rims with a 5" back space, they're 26.5" tall. I had to stiffen the rear springs and roll the fender lips to keep em from rubbing. 275/50/15's will go in perfectly on 10's or 8's. There's also 265/50/15's out there too, but they're a might short.

    yes you can fit a 29" inch tall tire in a maverick. it just cant be too wide. i have 275 60 15s. i did have to do some fender lip rolling and have even pushed the out a little but they do fit. the 235 75 15s should fit with no problems as long as your wheels off set is right.
