So I did some googling and I believe that I have found that the 2011 Platinum bolt pattern is 6x135, same as my 2005 FX4. Just looking for a confirmation on that. I am trading in my 05 FX4 to get a 2011 Platinum and sorely want to keep the rims I put on my FX4. Almost to the point that it may be a deal breaker because I really love my FX4. 95,000 miles and not so much as a peep out of her.
Thanks in advance for the replies and Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Same pattern. You just have to put the TMS sensors on.

 

Didn't think about that. Shouldn't be difficult right?

 

It's a different system. The sensors on the new ones are in the valve stem, I think, rather than the band. You will have to buy the sensors and have them installed.

 

Be careful. Some rims on 04-08 will not fit the 09 up due to the larger brake calipers. Specifically the FX4 wheels. The problem isn't wheel diameter, but the calipers hitting the wheel spokes. I am using cheap XLT wheels for winter, and they just clear.

Sensors will run you about $150 for a set of 4 including the special valve stems they are mounted to.

 

Or just dont run tpms.. Or build a tube that holds psi and put it under the seat

 

Tube does not work. Been tried before. If you do not run TPMS, you have to be willing to live with the nags.

 

I ran into the larger brake calipers myself. i was wondering about this. My winter set do not fit on my 2010 that i used on my 2006.

 

The rims I have now are monster xd778. 4.5 inch back spacing I believe. Does the back spacing keep it clear of the brakes? Also I am running 35" nitto terra grapplers. I'm probably going to run into clearance issues as well. Or atleast I did with my FX4. Any thoughts on that?

 

It wasn't the back spacing that was the problem as all 17 and 18" wheels from Ford have the same back spacing since 04. It was the shape. The only way to tell is try them.

In the FX4 wheels prior to 09, the mounting surface was not proud enough from the spokes. About the only way I can describe it.

 

Thanks kingfish. Appreciate the response.
