I must say those wheels are amazing! Just ordered a new 150 king ranch and those would look great! Ford does a great job on wheel designs , I have felt over the years that the aftermarket is just too much bling.

yeah i agree. its subtle with just enough "pop" for me. some aftermarket wheels are real nice but most arent for me. i wish these were chrome is my only thing that could make them any better. Maybe Ill have them chromed in the future

Very nice! I know black is all the rage lately, but those wheels have a great timeless look to them that wouldn't get old or trendy.

thanks guys

they dimensions are 20x8.5 and i believe the backspacing is +44. From what i am reading this was going to be the wheel used on the lightnings from 04-08 had they made one

yeah they are 20s, my fault on my last post. +44 is the offset.

I think im gonna be going with 265/50 for tires since they are the same overall dimensions as the tires that i have on the truck right now. Dont wanna mess with my speedo or anything like that

i actually got lucky and found them on craigslist, but they had never been mounted on a truck before. He ordered them right from ford, the shipping labels are still on the boxes.

i had to make my first truck payment so tires have been delayed. Im hopin to have them on next weekend

I have the 10" wide version of that rim and opted for 275/55x20 - YOKOHAMA Parada Spec-X (don't off-road and the wheels are for non-winter use).
