    i really wanna set of fr500s to fit under the mav. the front would be no issue. but the best backspacing for our cars is 4.5". the frs have around 6" to 7". i can dream though.

    I've been looking at them, there are aftermarket ones. But you'll still need spacers..18's are a little big on a Maverick or Comet. I've seen some 17's....

    I really like those too. Spacers would be a necessity.

    Someone on here put 17X9's on the front with a relatively stock suspension. I know he had to roll the fender lip and I'm sure his alignment guy had a time getting it to not scrub but they looked good. The trick would be to get just the right thickness spacer.

    I've studied the pictures of that car, they are real...close..I know I'd rip the fenders off, if my wheels were that tight.

    17x10.5 would be wicked on a Maverick or Comet. (y)
