    I have 14 x 6 on the front and on the rear I have 14 x 7 with a reverse offset. These will fit your car.

    Unilug means it will fit a variety of Bolt patterns from different cars. You will want the pattern that fits a 4 1/2" bolt pattern.

    There are some of what I call imitation Cragars out there. Make sure you get the real thing. JEGS has the real thing.

    I ran the 14x7s on the front and the 14x8s on the rear for years, Only problem i had was the back spacing on the rear. If i ran the 275x60 tires i had to run a 1/4 spacer, to keep the tires from rubbing the leaf springs. Other than being heavy and the back spaceing they worked good. I think this is the best looking wheel that can be put on a Maverick, I only wish they made them in aluminum, with the correct back spacing. Unilug means they will fit different lug bolt patterns with the rite washer or unilug washer. Which is another negative in my opinion. (pain in the butt to start lugs)
