I have an f150 03 on 17s but I wanna upgrade on wheels I wanna get stock 17s but the ones that 04-08 new body style have well my question is if I can drill a new whole to change the pattern since those are 6lug I want to make an extra whole to make them fit without and problem
I Google's it and it is possible but I want to see yalls opinion and suggestion

 

You can't be serious !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm with Sam...WHY would you want to do something like that?

 

There adapter plates but I don't recommend them any farther than I can throw them....

Stick with your model bolt/lug pattern and you'll have NO issues....

 

Fixed it fer yah

 

Thanks....

 

III m pretty sure u can I work at a shop these guys here do all kinds of machine work I've seen them drill holes on things that run faster and are calibrated right I would need to ask these guys here

 

The 03 is 5lug the 04+ are 6lug. Dont do it. If anything run adaptors, people are affraid of them but really dont know why. I ran 1.5" spacers on my truck lifted on 38"s and putting over 400FTLB to the ground for 8yrs and so far no issues at all. Just make sure you torque them correctly and you will be ok!

First, welcome to the site.

Secondly, please at least attempt to utilize some of the grammatical techniques that you learned in elementary (GRAMMAR) school. Utilizing proper, basic capitalization and punctuation go a long way in effectively relating an idea or question in a manner that is easy to read and understand.

Thirdly, I agree with Sam and the others. However, it seems like you're dead set on trying it (I think that's what you tried to say with your last post), so hell, go for it! Apparently, your machine shop bodies know more than we do. Considering you're so close to such vast sources of knowledge pertaining to all things machinery, I wonder why you even asked us at all.

In closing, do what you want. Regardless of the answers/advice you got here, you were going to anyway, weren't you? Be honest. Millennial, ere ye?

Be sure to keep us posted with pics of that Jerry-rigged ride of yours! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

i saw a guy do this on one of those custom car shows where they try to rebuild a car in 48 hours or something like that. he was sitting on the garage floor with a hand drill....

i just shook my head and changed the channel

oaw

 

P.S. Did your machine shop buddies tell you that there are many companies out there who manufacture, distribute, and sell what are called "aftermarket wheels"? Furthermore, did they tell you that many of these aftermarket wheels look much better that factory wheels and, get this, are actually made to fit your truck with not modification or drilling?

 

I'm still doing it
Duce

 

I knew it! Millennial all the way. So few from earlier generations ask for advice, get VERY sound advice, only to do what they want in the end (the opposite and dumb thing).

Additionally, I know of not a single soul from earlier generations who uses "Duce" (properly, "Deuces") as a salutation.

Good luck! Please, please, please post pics when you get that "fab job" completed.

 

Why would you ask, if you're going to go ahead and mess it up anyway... There is a point in going against the crowd, but this... Heck you could put other motorists in danger with this fab job. Also, for the record it is Deuces, not duce. sounds like your ****ting in your chair as you are typing this.

 

Wyatt,

I know you're a member of the millennial generation, but don't follow that herd, please. I don't think you do. I know you're just a pup and have lots to learn, but if I ever see or hear of you using "deuces" in any context except for a card game, I'll whomp you with a knotted plow line!
