anybody got any pics or seen this setup. I just got a set of wheels only from an 07, need to buy tires to try them out. till then, wondered if anybody had done it.

 

Don't have pics, but I remember someone tried putting expy wheels on a 150. They had a problem with fitment, turns out the expy wheels have a slightly smaller hub diameter in the wheel (the large center hole, between the lug holes) and the expy wheels have to be forced onto the back of the 150's. You can put them on unaltered, but you will have a hell of a time trying to get them off again. The easiest solution is to open up the center hole on the expy wheels so you can get them on and off when needed, and do all 4 so you can rotate when needed.

 

I read that thread too. I think it only applies to the 18" rims. I pick them up in the morning and will dry fit them on the truck without tires before I buy some treads.

 

Didn't you already post this a few weeks back? Nobody posted any pics although one guy said he knew someone he worked with that had that setup and it looked good.

I haven't seen pics of these chrome clad 20's yet on F150, but there's a guy on another forum that has had no problems using 18's and also 20's from a Navigator on his F150.

Did you end up getting them on ebay yesterday at the last minute for around $350? I was looking at those too but decided not to bid. I'm going to buy new ones, and I plan on putting these on my new 09 anyways, so I'll just wait and buy new ones without curb rash.

Let us know how your test fit goes on your rear hub.

 

Yep, that was me wondering about them. Yes I got them for $350 with the rash on 1 wheel and it includes lugs. Once the tires are installed it shouldn't even be noticable. I'll test it out, and report once and for all so everybody will no. If no fitment problems I'll pick up some take off tires and try the setup out. I figured in the end I shouldn't have more than $600 in the set. If I like them, cool. My truck has 70K on it now and the setup should take me near the 100K mark. If I don't like them I should be able to sell them and get my moneyback and buy some new tires for my stock 18s. We'll see, I got a photoshop of it but it's hard to tell from all angles how it will look. Those wheels don't have any dish to them so it's tough for me to decide if I'll like them. I figured for the price and with local pickup (no shipping), I couldn't go wrong. But,... if there's a way I usually find it. Haha.

 

Picked up the wheels and they do fit the rear with no problems. Now I gotta find some reasonable tires. Anybody with a take off set of 275 55 20's they want to let go. They don't have to be new.

 

Curtis, the pirellis that come stock are only $126 new on tire rack, blackwall or raised white letter, your choice.

 

Curtis--any pics of yet of the Expy wheels on your F150?

 

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to this sooner. I mounted the wheel only on the rear of the truck and no doubt it will fit fine without seizing on the hub. After looking at it though I decided I like the slight depth of the stock 18's still better. Before buying tires I just turned around and sold them on ebay. I recovered my cost and the shipping cost. Nothing really gained, nothing lost. Then I bought a set of replacement tires for my 18's and have went on to add a few other goods to the old mule. I never took any pics, sorry again.

 

When you say depth, you mean the 18's were a bit more recessed, right?

Did you take any pics before you resold them?
