I have 14x7 Western mag sprinterswith 235 60r14 on the front of my Maverick. With 15x8 Westerrns in the back I fit 255 60r15 on the rears. I rolled the fender lips both front and rear. I don't think that there was more a single backspacing avalible. I have taken I coil out of the front springs. The rears I had rearched with an additional leaf added. If you do get an added leaf make sure that It runs all the way under the front eye of the spring. This really helps launch the car without the hassles of slapper bars

: : Without modifications? I run P235/60R/14 all the way around. With 4 people in the car, I had a slight problem with the sidewall rubbing on the inside of the fender in the corners. I recently installed air shocks and I'm sure I could go bigger now.

: : : What is the biggest tire you've fit under a maverick?
: : : include your backspacing, if necessary.
