Any 4x2's running 18" FX4 wheels/tires?

I've possibly got a buyer for my factory wheels/tires but the guy has a 4x2 and isn't quite convinced that these will fit his truck.

I know I've seen a few guys/gals here in the past that have put the 18" wheels on their 4x2s in the past. If I remember corrently this is a problem-free swap with plenty of clearance. If you all could post a link to your gallery or a pic, you may help me seal the deal.

thanks in advance, Jerry

Mine is 2 WD, and I have the 18" Lariat wheels with Good Year all terrains. They will fit fine.

It lifts the front of the truck to make it sit level. Or you can do like me and put 2 inch lowering shackles on the truck and that will make it sit level. (I havent installed these yet, but when I do I will update the pics. I have some DJM shackles, just havent had the time yet...)

Here is the first 2wd truck I saw on FX4 wheels and this is why I wanted them for my truck:

This truck belongs to a member here, but he dont post much anymore. I love the look of 20's and above, but I cant think of a nicer looking wheel than these for my truck.


BTW, what guy did you buy from on ebay? Just curious as I bought some from a guy last week. If you bought from the same guy I did you will not be disappointed.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their replies and compliment you all on some good looking trucks.....then again they're all Fords so you probably already knew that.

I was wondering the same thing about those wheels. I saw some on Ebay as well. Now I can order them. What would be a decent price for the set of these?

asinatra, your truck is sick.

Later
