The 14x7s have a backspacing of 4.25-inches...The largest tire you can use on the rear (with the stock 8-inch rearend)is a 235/60R-14. Even with these, you will experience a slight rubbing on the inner wheel-wells and on the upper ball-joints. I ended up putting 14x6s up front and still have the 14x7s on the rear....
: Can any of you guys who are using 14x7 Magnum wheels give me the benefit of your experience re; maximum tire sizes practical for use on a stock height Maverick? I'm planning to use the same or slighly larger tires on the rear and would like to avoid getting something that's going to rub. What has worked for you? Thanks. John B.
