2005 rims on a 2009? **PICTURE**
Ok i sold my old rims to my step dad, since they got an 09 and i sold my 05 a couple of month ago.
Here's the problem. He went to put is winter tire on the rims and the truck, but Ford called him back to say they don't fit. The caliper is touching the rim.
What give? Ford sell the same wheel on 2009 truck. (2005 FX4 18'')
Did they change something on the wheel to make it fit?
Edit : They don't fit. To put them on, you will need about a 1/4'' spacer on the front.
These are the rim in question, 2005 FX4 18''

It was sometime in 2005 that Ford changed brake calipers. This caused some fitment problems with some aftermarket 17 inch wheels. The OEM 17's and most aftermarket 17's still fit fine. Maybe he has larger tires on his OEM 18's and the tech thought the tire size wouldn't fit?
I need to try it myself to have a clear answer i guess.
