Lincoln LT Rims

So I like the rims, but not the hubcap. Will a chrome Ford hubcap fit in place of the Lincoln one, or is the Lincoln rim totally different?

which wheel? there are 3 different wheels that they have used on the LT so far, the 2 that show up on the lincoln site as current choices, and then one 8 spoke chrome one that used to also be on the 03-04 navigator (was on some early build LTs). But i dont think any of the ford center caps will attach to any of those wheels without having a gap.

its possilbe that some of the Lincoln wheels will be able to use the center cap from the king ranch rims. i just used the lincoln caps on mine, since i was going for a lincoln theme. i have the 7 spoke ball milled aluminum ones

Im looking at the 7 spoke chome rims on ebay. I just want to use the Ford hubcap. I would go with the Lincoln look except I dont like the ugly a$$ faux taillights.

well if you check out my gallery, i didnt use the center taillights, just the outer ones with the lines in the reverse lens. they do stick out about 3/8 of an inch but it is unnoticeably unless you know to look for it. what i was going to do way down the road was take out the handle on the tailgate and get a navigator license place bucket with the reverse lenses and handle release built in, and rig that up, but for what i need my truck for that just isnt practical

just a warning on those 7 spoke chrome ones from the LT (not the wider 7 spoke ones from the navigator).
like these

They are not chrome alloy wheels! they are stamped steel with a chrome veneer epoxied to them, and the chrome part dents extremely easy. In fact, some one made a post or two about it over in the LT forum a while back.

The earlier 8 spoke crome wheels like came on the very early build LTs, and a ton of 03-04 navigators are actually chromed alloy.

Also, the wider 7 spoke chrome ones off the 05 and up navigator are alloy.
