    Stock Maverick as in stock rims?
    If so, I have 245/60/14s on my stock rims... 75 Maverick too.

    If you are talking about biggest with any rim, then I suppose it all depends on exactly which rim, and which backspace.

    Couple guys have 275/60/15s... 7" and 8" rims.
    DHearne has 295/50/15s IIRC... He has a custom 9" rear that requires a deep backspace.
    Then there are some 275/50/15s and I believe CaptainComet has 265/60/15s.

    Someone else will have to chime in if you want info on rims larger than 15".

    Welcome!
