Wheel and Tire Question

Will wheels and tires from a 2005 Navigator work on an 04 6 lug f150? I know the lug pattern is the same but the tire size is 255/70/18 and was wondering how the truck would drive with these and if they would work correctly.
Thanks

i heard the hub is smaller on the lincoln navigator/ expedition... another user got them on, but it "mushed" into the hub... the hub bore is too small or whatever... he had a huge problem getting the wheel off

NO...the wheels will NOT work. They will get stuck on the rear axel because the F150 hub is bigger than the Navi hub and the wheel will press its self on to the hub as you tighten the lugs and it is almost impossible to get off...try 4 hours of beating with a 10lb slide hammer to get them off.

You can open up the center of the wheel and use it, but as is its a BIG NO NO!

Simular maybe, but I can assure you the center hole is bigger or they wont fit.

I have had no problems with mine. Almost 25K miles and three rotations later. They are the standard Navigator wheels that look identical to the standard Mark LT wheels. They do have TPMS, so maybe '05 model wheels are different? They were definately Navigator wheels because I bought them for the Michellin tires (dealer take-offs).
