I have some spares from panthers I'm going to be running as skinnies once I get the tires changed and put a tiny spacer in or possibly grind the calipers down. It just barely touches the calipers. They're nice because they're Ford parts, aluminum and small so light, look almost like Weld rims, and don't cost an arm and leg

STOCK?????? People have "stock" Marauders? I think a 16" is as small as you can go, but the "stock" rear calipers are small, they may fit. :confused:
Lol well mostly stock i havent gotten there yet. But what do you mean 16 is tje smallest i can go rim size or what?

15" rims do not fit over the brake calipers..they "may" fit on the rear axle, but not front. 16" rims will fit front and rear..Ive had 2003+ model year 16" CVPI rims on mine before when I was getting my rims re-finished..they fit fine.
They're only 50 bucks so ill just sell them off if they dont work

16x4.5 Lincoln town car aluminum mini spares up front, and some 15x8 steelies for the back from summit. It's not my drag setup, it's my "all the time" setup.
