The problem is you are weighing the tire and wheel, not just the wheel.

I beleive hellbound weighed only his factory 18" wheels. Maybe he can chime in.

 

I see what your saying.

 

Any Updates on this?

 

Just to dispute the claim earlier in the thread that says the 04+ 4.6L motors won't make as much HP as a stock 5.4L with a couple of bolt ons is dead wrong. Your average stock 04+ 5.4L 4x4 will put out about 210 RWHP. My 05 4.6L motor puts out 216.44 RWHP as of the last trip to the dyno with nothing more than an AirAid Intake Kit, Magnaflow Exhaust, XCal2 (tuned by Troyer Performance), and a good set of underdrive pullies. Don't berate this engine. It may be smaller, but it has good potential in it.
