This can't be right

What's up with that? "Clears brakes fine as long as you don't have brakes"

The bolt pattern is correct for the 04-08 trucks. 6x135. I think the issue is the wheel size. I don't think you can fit a 16" wheel because of the brakes. Our trucks need at least a 17" wheel. That is probably what he means by that statment, and that could be why he never used them. That could also be why he stated he is not a wheel expert and you should research it yourself.

Hopefully someone else will chime in.

They should fit (please do your own homework as I am not a wheel expert) 2004-2008 Ford F150 and expeditions.
I just saw that you have an '02. What size bolt pattern do you have? I thought they were a 5x135? Or is it for another vehicle? Or do I have your bolt pattern wrong?

i bet they just labeled the boxes incorrectly, i would be money they are 6x5.5 for a 6 lug chevy, moto metal has to know that 17 inch rims are the smallest you can go on the 04-08 f150's.

Moto Metal didn't say they were for the 04-08 f150's did they? I think it was just the ebay seller unless I missed something.

Moto Metal makes a wheel that matches all those specs, even matches the part number. I don't think the box was labeled wrong.

well the bolt pattern on the box is 6x135, so that would only fit 04-08 f150s, expedition, naviagtor and mark lt's.

Sorry I didn't make it very clear what I meant. I just thought it was odd that Moto or anybody for that matter would make a 6x135 16" wheel that fits absolutely nothing. I figured it was a typo until the picture of the actual label. Still could be wrong, who knows.
