Wheel Identification Help Needed

Can anyone identify this Ford factory wheel? Year it was offered? Sizes that were available? Part Number? Availability?

Thanks!

I know I am going to be wrong, but my gut says that is a wheel that came on the FX2, or some kind of sport iteration. Similar to the Shelby wheel. There are folks on here who have them and can tell you for sure.

Yes, I think it was a special order wheel for the Fx2.

Using the FX2 information as a guide, my research shows that it is a 20" wheel that was offered on the 2008 FX2.

I found the same wheel polished instead of painted, but it states it is for 4WDs only. I have a 2009 2WD. I don't know if the backspacing is the issue. Can anyone elaborate on the maximum backspacing for a 2WD?

bump... (I'm a forum newbie, so I hope I didn't break etiquette.)

I was hoping someone would educate me on the backspacing issue. The wheel at http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...KeyField=10027 has 7.125" backspacing. Is this the reason it is for a 4WD only?
