I kinda like the XLT rims but the hybrid maybe different than the EB.

The standard XLT wheels are the regardless of powertrain.

I think it looks awesome. It would be nice if all the negative Nancy’s would keep they’re opinions to themselves

So only people that agree get to speak? This isn't North Korea.

When you post on a public forum you've got to take the good comments with the bad. If you can't take it don't post.

Looks great!

Do you happen to know the load rating of those wheels? I’d be hesitant to tow too much with wheels that were originally designed for a much lighter vehicle with less payload and towing capacity. May not be a concern for non-towers or unloaded driving, looks like you intend to tow though.

That's exactly my concern when I read the thread title. I'd get some wheels from a vehicle that weighs the same or more not from a vehicle that weighs like 800 lbs less. The Volvo XC90 weighs a couple hundred lbs more but has the same 5/108 bolt pattern.

Not my truck. Customized by NVT Rod and Custom.

What is the weight of the trailer & VW bus you're towing? Thanks.

Does anyone know where this splash graphic came from?

i had a ranger splash that i liked, but this is a maverick? even though i do appreciate everyone's custom touches, i think some original maverick grabber style of stripes would be cool that go over both the wheel arches and across the doors at the lower body line. it's also cool that focus wheels fit/look good as i've seen other styles on mavericks too.

Pretty sure those are Ford Focus ST OEM rims. Also, they went to a 245/55R18 tire which is just a tiny bit smaller than the factory tire size. I personally would have gone to a 245/60R18 instead, the wheel/tire package looks way too small in the wheel well in my opinion but maybe they like it or plan on lowering it which will help with that.

Edit: I'm confident that with the right offset and spacing they wouldn't rub even with a 245/60R18 tire.

Nice customization/personalization!!! Thanks for posting as it shows all the great individual ideas out there. Keep up the good work.

On Fb he reported having a slight rub when towing at capacity.

That's because the focus wheels are not only 8" wide compared to the 7" wide Maverick wheels but they also have an offset of 55mm which means that they are over an inch closer to the strut on the inside. Not a great wheel choice given the offset, they either need spacers to bring the wheel out away from the suspension or find different wheels.

And negative Neals!

Folks hate on the splash decals but crucify me when I commented on another post saying I did not like the lowered Mavericks!
