Dose anyone know if the bolt pattern and backspacing will be the same for the 09 as the current model? I hope so. I know there is people on here who do not like the FX4 rims but I think I like them and would probably find a deal on a set after someone puts aftermarket rims on.

 

I think that the FoMoCo finally smartened up, & realized that 20" rims on a FX-4 Off Road model that people will use for Off Roading was a mistake, & finally put a rim on that offers a much more protecting sidewall.......about time!....

 

I don't know about the specs, but I think the new FX4 wheels look nicer than the old ones. I like the 18's the most.

Can't imagine they would be changeing the 6x135 bolt pattern that was on the 04 to present F150's. Couldn't see the point in them going to 6x139 like GM and Toyota as it add's nothing...

 

Nope, still 20"s. Plus, if someone is buying an f150 with the intention of going offorad, they arent gonna buy an fx4 cuz it will do better LOL. They might like the package. An XLT or lariat will do the same thing depending on how you modify all 3 models.

 

I actually like all three of those rims better than my stock rims. although I don't like the look of 20 inch rims on a truck unless they got 35" or larger tires. any thing smaller just looks too low profile for me on a 20" rim. plus good tires for a 20" rim that are 35" or larger cost a arm and a leg. so I prefer 17" or 18" rims. although I do like how ford designed those 20" rims. too bad they did not make the 17" or 18" rims look like them.

 

I think the new rims are uglier than sin. Oh well we will see when they are out.
