    Hey John I tell you what, if you find you a set of 4 lug wheels that you like and they will not fit your Mav. Just let me know and we will make them fit with out any problem. My buddy has a vertical mill and I can slot the wheels just like a veri fit wheel, and we can even put the washer slot in the to make them alittle more stable. Since you are keeping the 250 I don't think you would ever have any problem with them and it really isn't that much work I have done it before. I could just meet you and pic them up and then bring them back when I was done. It is up to you, but let me know.

    Ok, so what kind of offset/backspacing will I need.....I want the wheels/tires inside the fender.....nothing sticking out...
    14's,15's,16's or 17's.....no preferance.
    What like a 7 inch rim.....no 8's

    backspacing...anyone?

    I would do 8s in the rear with 7s up front, thats the way my fox body is with 15in rims and its great. It has plenty of tire to throw around with 235 60s inback with 215 60s up front.

    Here is a pic of my 72' with Outlaws on them. Just an FYI, to give you an idea what they look like.

    So John, Have you decided on what wheels you are going to get? or have you narrowed down your choices? if so what are the choices.
