Will Lincoln Navigator Rims + Tires do For Winter Tires ???

Hi All, and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Went to an awesome Party at my Cousins house last night, and for X-mas he bought his wife an awesome set of 22's Rims + Tires.
I mentioned to him I'm looking for some possible winter tires and asked what he did with his old tires and rims (old being months old). He told me if I wanted them, take them
Dam I love my Cousin
BTW, he got the most beautiful awesome 22" chrome trick looking rims and 50 series Good Year tires "all around" for like $2,000.00 maybe he said $2200.00. He has a buddy in the business that'll wholesale them to him for cost, WHAT A DEAL, I may have him bring me there, imagine what I can get 4 chrome 18" rims for

Back to the question, will brand new Navigator Rims and tires fit on my 02 Lightning ??? I don't even know what size they are yet because I havent scene them, but is it worth putting two on the back for the snowy crappy winter we're already having in NY.
And will my regular lug nuts work ???

I dont know if the lugs would work but I would put the rims and tires on for better traction in the snow. They can only help being an all season tire. Put some weight in the back and you would be straight.

I thought our trucks and the 97+ had a bolt pattern all of their own? I didn't think anything was swapable on them...don't take my answer for granted, thats just what I thought.

What year Navigator?

If it is a 2003 I do not think they will work as the offset has changed due to the new independent suspension. I also believe the new Expedition and Navigator have a 6 lug pattern, but don't quote me on that.

Otherwise the 2002 and earlier Navigator wheels should be a direct swap. I know I had my wheels from my 2000 Expedition on my lightning a while back with no problems.

It's not an 03, it's either an 02 or 01, I guess maybe I'll have to go over there one day and simply try them, Thanks Guys.
