    I know 1978 Toyota pickup wheels will fit, so I assume other 2wd Toyota wheels should. I had a 78, I put 67 Mustang wheels on it, and they are the same bolt pattern as a Maverick. Only difference would be the center hole diameter, and possibly the backspacing. Some of the pickup aluminum wheels were nice.

    Some Nissan 5-lug cars have the same bolt pattern.

    Front ones will fit, though you may have to get the height you want. I have stock '85 Mustang GT springs in mine, which I did cut significantly.

    Yes, I think the old Z-car wheels fit. I have two 260 Z cars at my house, I should try them.

    Aren't 260Z's 4 lug? They will fit on 4 lug Mavericks and so do the older Toyota wheels like off a Supra. Someone on the board has Supra wheels on their car and it looks pretty good. The aluminum slots I have were originally on an old Datsun 1600 Roadster and they fit well.

    Yes, you're right. I am confusing things again. I learned that a while back when I was trying to find what wheels I could use on the 4 lug cars.

    I know for a fact that Nissan Wheels fit. I put a set of 09 Maxima wheels on my Mav but the centers on the front would have to be clearenced a tad. Im sure most other import wheels would be the same.
