    They look nice, but I think you would have to have spacers. The backspacing is really big on the wheels for the newer Mustangs.

    His spec on offset is 29mm. That is barely over an inch. I'm not sure what this measurement is for but on all the late model Mustangs I've measured, they have at least 5" backspacing. This is way too much for spacers. You'd have to do some suspension mods or get adapters.

    1974 Maverick I bought for $500 8 years ago when I was 16. Since then I have invested $30,000 into it.

    I have to agree, Hell why not throw some Honda emblems on your mav while your at it. Then you can hang with the rest of those honda drivin losers.:clap: I think his point was The Maverick gets disrespected enough why disrespect it even more with something that has another name or emblem stamped on it. Swapping parts from others cars is common place,however be classy about it in my opinion. :smash: :slap:

    That wheel was one of the choices for my new project. They do have different caps avalible so you don't have to have the mustang logo if you don't want it.

    To get them to fit your stock maverick I beleive you need the same spacers that the mustang guys are using and I think that is for the 8" wide version. They cost $299.95 from National Parts Depot.

    BTW I found a manufacture that makes them 10.5" wide then I could have had 315/35-17 tires on the rear :bananaman

    So I wonder where we fit? I mean we have mustang engine and trans, wheels, front suspension, rear axle, t-bird seats, tail lights, door locks, taraus power windows, dodge caravan A/C compressor, and manaul rear vent accuators.
