Wheel studs!! ?
Just got back from an hour and a half drive. Just bought a set of 17" rims and tires. Awesome price, Steel wheels with a chrome overlay and chrome center caps.
Pulled the truck in the garage, took off the center cap to start the exchange of tires and wheels.
I found my Truck has SEVEN STUDS not six or eight !!!! WTF?
I have never heard of 7 stud wheels !!! When did this start?

Bummer on the wheels. Hopefully you can get your money back.
Why would anyone think they needed to see how many lugs their F150 has? Most aren't even aware that Ford offers a HD payload package on our trucks and even fewer know about these odd hubs. And Ford designed the center caps on the stock wheels to that they don't show the lugs, like they did on the heritage body style.
Hope you can get your money back.

97-03 trucks came with 5 lugs. In 04 they changed to 6 lug. F250 and up came with 8 lugs. There were some f150s that had 7 lugs these were the 7700 trucks if I remember correctly. It was a package you could buy for the f150 basically a heavy duty half ton with (I think) a 7700 gvw rating.

From my experiences at work, load range E tires can run up to 80psi cold in them. I see a lot of Super Duty trucks come in with load range E tires on them, same with the big E250/350 vans from Ford that contractors and folks of the sort use.
My guess, is with those air pressure recommendations for the tires, they're probably calling for load range D tires on the truck.
I've personally never seen one of hte 7 lug heavy duty F150's in person, but did see that the package was offered when I was checking on wheels on TireRack.

the 04+ went to the 8200lb package to replace the old 7700 package, basically an upgrade...they have heavier T bars and 1 extra spring in back, they are real common the 7 lug trucks, probably 20 of them in my town of 4k people. same everything in the front except for the wheelbearing/hub assembly and rear has a semi floating 10.25 differential.
