Alright, I have a 2000 Ford F-150 4x4 and my sister's boyfriend, who works in a body shop, found three Harley Davidson wheels off of a wrecked 2001 and he said that his boss knows where I can pick up the other one cheap. Any way I had a few questions about the application on to my 2000
1. I know that the wheels are 18 inch wheels mine are 17's would the bolt pattern be the same as my 4x4? (I suspect so but I did wonder)
2. I currently run a Maxxis 305/70R17 could the H.D. wheels carry a Pro Comp that was similar in size?
3. Are there any other issues that I may run into?
I think that this may be a pretty good deal in that I can pick all four wheels for about $500 and from what my buddy says the wheels are immaculate. Any feedback would be helpful.

 

The bolt patterns are the same.

You should be able to find a tire to fit on them, I dont recall the width of the rims off hand though...

 

i thought the harley davidson wheels were 20"...? bolt patterns are the same either way... might want to look into that.

 

All the Harley wheels are 20 inches. It's the Lightning wheels that are 18 inches. All the 97-03 F-150's use the 5x135mm bolt pattern.

 

Yep they are 20's. I got to go look at them today and they are in good shape but is there anybody that makes an aggresive tire, that's in the 34 inch range, for a wheel that big? I can't seem to locate any so I think I may just scrap this idea. Seems that if I come across a tire that size it's probably gonna cost me out the a$$ anyway. Wandell and any of you others more learned then me in the area of wheels and tires ... what do you guys think?

 

Yep, 20 inch all terrian and mud terrian tires are very, very expensive. Check out the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler and Mud Grappler, Toyo Open Country AT and MT and the new Mickey THompson ATZ and MTZ as well as Super Swamper IROK's.

 

OUCH! Tirerack lists the BFG ATs at $291 per tire for a 285/55R20 (~33x11.5)

 

Actually, I thought they were a lot more than that. That sounds like a good price on the BFG's.
