Guess this is my intro thread
Kinda new to this site, some may have seen me around before, I see a few people here from fordtruckworld. Bought a 2002 F150 back in August with 78k miles. Already used a lot of info on this site, changed spark plugs recently etc. Wanted some new wheels and tires but quickly found out our bolt pattern is less than ideal.

I always like the looks of the square spoke lightning wheels and I searched and searched for pics of some on 4wd. Only found 1 or 2 trucks running them so I took a chance and picked up a pair to see how they'd look. Ended up picking up some 275/70R18 Toyo MT's. Other than cranked T bars and gott modded intake its stock (for now )

On to the pictures!







Can flex decent too for ifs. Rear tucks nice.

Thanks. I had Classic locks on my old '95 and hated them because they were polished. Practically stole the L wheels for $480.

Yep. Was able to use the factory lugnuts from the FX4 wheels too.

Had the FX4 wheels on there but wanted something different and couldnt really find any aftermarket wheels I liked.

Here it is stock and then with my brothers Hostages then next to my old truck...
