    hi to all on the board! I have a question about wheels for my 71 maverick,(im sure its been asked by tons of people before) its a 250 l6 ,3spd auto,a/c ,p/s, 4 lug.i want to put 15" rims on it front and rear. unsure about the bolt circle thought they were 4 on4.5 but need to messure them, but what i need to know is what back spacing will work on the rear and clear without problems for a fairly big rear, small front combo. most 8" rims have 4.5 back spacing, and looking at 5-7"wide rim for front.i saw a mav on here that had the right stance, for me anyway ,its a blue 69 , but i want to get them on it to drive soon cant handle the stockers.plan on changing to discs and 9" with 5 lug but not for a while .:rofl:

    Well,if you're gonna go 5-lug later,and you just HAVE to have big & littles get a set of 4-lug Weld Draglites.They're a dual 4-lug pattern.When you're done with 'em you can sell 'em to a 5.0 fox Mustang fan as that's what the other 4-lug pattern is:D.
