    Hard to find anything in 4 bolt, your choices are limited. Search for four bolt wheels, and you should be able to find what everyone else has come up with.

    What size of rear end do you have? Some of the guys on this forum have suggested I get rid of the the 7" rear end/4 lug as they say the 302 will tear that rear end up.

    How did you end up with a 7" under a 1972 Maverick? Sure it isn't an 8"?

    4 lug wheels

    My maverick has 4 lug wheels. I had the same problem you are having....couldn't find a set that I liked. I ended up finding a used set on a local site.

    The 4 lug(8 lug?) Weld Draglites( like everyone runs on fox Mustangs) will fit. They use the other bolt pattern. 8" rear will hold a mild 302 no problem. I'd say as long as it's under 400 hp you'll be fine. Mine lived behind a 302 w/a 150 shot and slicks for 6 years before I finally bent an axle....but that was after I put in a mini spool.

    Yep, got to be careful about bolt patterns early vs late. I think they changed with the Mustang II.
