2011 Wheel question
Wasn't sure if this should go in the wheels/tires section or here...
Anyway,
Does anyone know if the wheel specs like lug pattern on the 2011's are the same as the 2009/2010? My '09 is 6x135 lug pattern.
I'm thinking I may be upgrading somewhere around the end of 2011 if the EB engine proves to be a gas-saver and reliable. I'm about to put new tires on my '09 and will most likely go with a 305/55/20. I'd like to put them on new wheels if I can transfer those wheels to the 2011 when (or if) I get one.
If the bolt pattern is different then I'll just put the new tires on the factory rims, if it's the same I'll keep the stock tire/rim combo in the garage and put it back on the truck when I sell/trade it. The stock tires still have probably 8 or 10 thousand miles of life left in them.

They have the same bolt patern, but that doesn't garantee you they will fit.
I sold my 05 FX4 18'' to my mom (winter wheels) for her 09 and they didn't fit on the front. They rub big time on the caliper support/bracket. She had to buy 1/4'' spacer for them to fit.

But the 17" wheels will fit. It is just the way the FX4 18" wheel was made. I am using the extra set off an XLT on my 09 for my winter tires.

Thanks for all the responses folks. Much appreciated.
I figured they would be the same since there were no real Frame/Body changes since '09.
My FX4 has the 20" wheels and I'll most likely be going with a 20" aftermarket wheel.
Last night I photoshop'd a wheel on my truck and I think it looks pretty good. I'll start a new thread for that discussion.
