Messing with some rims.

5 on 4 1/2", or metric is 5 on 114.3mm

 

Not for me, but you are the one who has to like them. To each his own.

 

Would be ok for rolling stock but IMO a wheel with a slight lip in the front and a deep in the back would look much better. Also whats the story on the scoops in the hood? Kind of looks like the hoods on the new GT500's.

 

Yea I decided not to go with those rims. I like them but I like my other choices much better! So I will wait...

 

Anything over 15" is a waste of metal in my opinion.

 

Yeah my DAD feels the same way. To each there own. If Ford would have had 17in wheels in 1971 like they do now...they would have put them on the Maverick. Besides anything with over 6in of sidewall is a waste of rubber in my opinion

 

i like the old rims LOL

 

18" Wheels

The wheels look fine but the replacement cost of the tires will blow your mind.

Last year I purchased a new Hyundai Sonata and it had 17" 55 Ratio tires and wheels. I took it from the dealership and went to NTB Tire Co. and bought a set of 16" tires and wheels with 60 ratio, it improved the ride greatly.

Carried the 17" stuff back to the dealer and sold them to him for $300 more than I paid for the 16s.

Your ride quality is in the sidewall.

I am too old to be bouncing down the road.

What aspect ratio tires would you have to install to have the correct size for the Mavrick?

I would go with a 40 series sidewall. I've had 17's before with a 40 series sidewall and the ride is not that bad. Replacement cost on the tires are not as high as most people make out. Plus I work at the dealership so I can get them at cost. almost every tire has a 40-50% markup in price.
