2005 F-150 lariat with new rims
I just brought this truck like 3 weeks ago, i have driven a silverado, dodge, and the new nissan...this truck blows them away by far!!
well when i went in to buy the truck from my wife at the ford dealership, they are now selling them either with a lift kit or along with 22" rims and tires. the only thing i added myself was dual exhaust, made by IMCO performace exhaust..it sounds perfect, not too loud like flow master, but not too soft either, and i noticed a great deal in gas, and performance...dually's are nice
im not so much a fan of chrome, but man these rims made the truck, i took thwe pictures at night, which does this truck zero justice, but i have to admit, the rims make the truck, blends right in...but anyhow here are a couple of pictures of my new truck.

some more pictures, the only thing that bothers me is the spindle, it gets rusty...i might need to go under there and sand it down and put some coating, excuse the floor mats, i just didnt want to get the new ones all dirty as of yet..lol wait a year, and then maybe i might throw them in..lol but overall, man ford did their thang for sho!!!

Great looking truck. I also have an 05 Lariat scab though. I love how quiet it is and how smooth it rides. I just feel it is a little sluggish with the pedal to the floor.
How much difference did you notice in ride quality? Also, how much did the wheels affect the quickness of the truck?
Thanks,
Chris.

Question on your wheels
I also have a 2005 F-150. I put some after market 20" rims (good ones) and tires. A shimmy/vibration then showed up between 60 to 70 mph. four sets of tires later, 3 different brands, I still have it.
Have you experienced any balancing problems or do your tires ride fairly smooth?
I read somewhere on a previous thread that there is a tension adjustment on the rack and pinion housing, but I think the 05's are different based on what mine looks like.

Nice looking truck! I had a similar problem with my rotors showing and simply painted them with black Rustoleum. Problem solved! Wait until you deal with the brake dust issue up front
Would you recomend IMCO performace exhaust for a '04 F150 4.6L?

So those are 22's from the dealership? They look a little like the MB motoring vapor wheels.
