2007+ factory 20s on an 06?

Can the 2007+ factory 20s be installed on an 06 Expedition?

Thanks
Ryan

yes the 03+ Expedition/Navigators and the 04+ F150s use the same bolt patterns so they will fit, and they look good on the 03-06 Expys i know a guy who has an 04 with them

look great, and fit perfectly.

the bolt pattern and OEM offsets are the exact same from for the F-150 (04-10) and Expy/Navi (03-10)


juts be careful with buying a set of Navi rims. they have about a 1/8" smaller inner diameter on the hub than a Expy/F-150 does.


this causes the hub to become frozen to the wheel on the rear axle occasionally

???? Funny that you say that, a quick look shows the hubs to be the same P/N between the Expedition and Navigator. Are you sure?

not the hub on the vehicle. the hub cutout on the Navi rims themselves.


It was a real big problem back in 05/06 when a few guys did the swap from a Navi. I've seen it posted here and on FTE.

the wheels fit "barely". when they went to rotate the tires, the hub had rusted and that little space had essentially corroded the wheel to the rim.



people were using slide hammers and other methods to get them off.


only 2 ways to fix it.
1. not run them
2. get the Navi rims bored out 1/4" for more clearance







just a FYI. not sure why it's that way, but enough guys have had it occur that I wouldn't try it personally

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll have to keep an eye out for a set.
