    My 1970 Maverick Came Standard With 13 Inch Wheels. I Have A Nice Set Of 14 Inch Wheels From My Donor Maverick. Can I Take Off The 13's And Put On The 14's Without Changing The Drums Or Anything Else? I Like The Bigger Tires Better. I Can't Find Any Nice Rims That Come In 13 Inch. Also, If I Can Make The Swap, Does Anyone Have Any Nice 14 Inch Rims (non-factory Mag Wheels)?
    Thanks,
    Stuart

    Sure - as long as the bolt pattern is the same. If you are going to a 14" wheel, you might want to swap the brakes over to the larger ones that came with the bigger wheels. If I remember right the 13 wheels had a 9 inch brake and the 14" had a 10" brake. You can probably find all the larger brake parts needed for free here in the wanted section. Many guys have swapped over to disc brakes and have the old 10" drum stuff laying around taking up space.
