i recently put in front disc brakes on my maverick but now i have a 5 lug in the front and 4 lug in the back and now i have no idea wat to do for rims. any input would be a great help. thank you
there lots of styles of wheels that are offered in 4 or 5 lug versions. you could get two of each if you find a style you like. i would sugest looking for a 5 lug diff to put in the rear. that would be the best way to take care of it.
not sure how far away this one is but it may have a rear axle http://www.picknpull.com/check_inve....8847222&Make=Ford&Model=Maverick&Distance=50 they are under 100 bucks
I would honestly get a later model 5 lug rear axle and swap it out. If you did the front swap, you can definitely swap out the rear axle! It's an easier job than the front brake swap. You'll also get bigger (and better) brakes with the swap. They're not that expensive and you'll have matching rims at all 4 corners. As it sits now, you'll have to carry 2 spare tires around at all times or hope you never get a flat tire. I'm not sure if they will fit , but if they do he would still have to swap over to the bigger brakes due to the difference in the drum sizes between the two. It would be much easier to swap the whole axle than swapping over the axle shafts, backing plates, brake hardware, etc. Hope this helps, -Scott H.
the 4 lug 8"s have a smaller housing end and use a smaller axle bearing. the brake offset is shorter on the 4 lugs also. all that makes it not doable.
thnks guys for your input ill see what i could find, but what other diffs could be put on a 72 mav becuz all the mavs that show up around here get picked to the bone pretty quick
