    I have rims for my maverick but they dont fit, they are 5 lug rims but the 5 lugs on my car are too small... how do i widen it so that the 5 lug rims fit??

    You have to find rims that are 5X4 1/2 pattern. Just because they are 5 lug does not mean they will fit. You probably have a GM style wheel. They are 5X5 on most of them. :)
