Wheel spacers to go from 5 lug Maverick wheel to 6 lug Bronco wheel

[Tennesseeman]

Has anyone used wheel spacers to go from the 5 lug Maverick wheel to the 6 lug Bronco wheel. Lots of 6 lug Bronco takeoffs here but very few Maverick or 5 lug Bronco wheels. Or is this a no go?

You can make anything fit, with a big enough hammer. To start with, the adapters will be 2" thick, plus the offset of the Bronco wheels is much different than the Maverick, so I'd expect that the wheels would be at least 3" further out than the OEM wheels. 2-piece spacers aren't cheap, but if that's the look you're going for,,,,,,,

Putting the unsprung weight 3" further out will put horrendous stress on the suspension and driveline components. Not to mention that the 6-lug wheels (take-off or otherwise) might end up being deeper and heavier than any Maverick/Bronco Sport wheels.

If it were me, I'd buy new wheels, or drive a bit, or just pay for shipping on take-offs before I'd throw $400 at spacers that will destroy my truck over time.

Agree with spacers adding extra stress on axle components - even if it wasnt being placed on a vehicle model with known axle history.

The idea of new wheels using same bolt pattern and spacing would be (IMO) a better choice.

If you didn't mind going for a ride, these are 2026 wheels, that appear to have the TPMS's still installed, so they would sync-up with your truck.

Ditch the spacers and stick with 5-lug wheels. Your wheel bearings will thank you.

I don’t know what wheel setup your Maverick come with but I’ve run spacers front and back for over a year without any issue.

Use the money from the spacers to buy more gas to drive further to a set of alloy maverick or bronco sport wheels... Not like it costs much to drive far for some wheels when you have a maverick to begin with

Thanks everyone. I think I'll just wait for a set of Maverick or small Bronco takeoffs.
