    Hi, Just found another hurdle in my build... That's the realization that my old 4 lug pattern is different from the newer 4 lug pattern. Oh well, my question is what other rear ends would be considered a bolt in? we looked at a Mustang 11 and it looked pretty close... I know it's only a 4 lug but my brother ran low 10's with them in his capri. I can live with an 8" but I want to run newer wheels. Thanks, Steve

    IIRC the must 2 has the late model pattern.

    If you wamt to know what other rear will fit, just upgrade to a Maverick 5 lug. and upgrade the front spindles while your at it. If you don't care about staying 4 lug, there are rims out there to be had for the Maverick 4 lug pattern, they aren't as plentiful as the Mustang 4 lug pattern but they are out there.

    The lug patern on your Maverick is a 4 on 4-1/4 inch, The one on that later model Fox Body Stangs are 4 on 4-1/4 or whatever that equates to in metric
