gbjoey Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Has anyone looked into the wheel offerings that come on the newer Ford F150's ???? Found a Ford dealer liquating take offs ! They're 17" , six lug , available in steel chrome or alloy ;). I'll be going there tomorrow to check them out . Just seeing if someone has tried them here first . Will see if can stuff them on a 620:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 don't think the ford bolt pattern is a match though...chevy and toyota's match up though... Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 what is it? 6x5.5 for dattos... what is the ford pattern? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I believe the fords are the same, but then again ford is retarded...they put out a 7-lug...wtf.... Quote Link to comment
gbjoey Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I checked , and they are 6 x5.5 BP . Yeah , I've seen them 7 lugs :blink: , said to self ,WTF:eek: . Fords smartass "Better idea" , I guess.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
gbjoey Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Also , another thing I found out about these newer Ford rims is : In 2003 & newer , Ford on there 1/2 tons went from 5 x 5.5 BP ,to a 6 x 5.5 BP . Kinda neat for all us Ratsuns . I'll see how fitment works on backspacing ,plus take some measurements of all available sets ! They say they're 2005 - 2008's take offs of F150's ;) Quote Link to comment

I never thought ford would go to 6X5.5, cause they'd want to be different that chevy. But groovy indeed as I am looking aroung for wheels now. KEep us posted on what you learn! Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I just did a metric conversion. The ford's I am finding are 6X135mm. I think our trucks are 6X139.7mm. (139.7mm converts to 5.5") So I am not so sure the fords will fit. But let me know if they do! Quote Link to comment

(139.7mm converts to 5.5") So I am not so sure the fords will fit. But let me know if they do! Well Fish , I guess I should of done some more checking , instead of taking there word for it . So when I went there with my truck & took the wheel tire combo off my truck , THEY WOULD'NT FIT:eek: . Very close , but no cigar::blink: The guy says he measured with a tape measure ( never make it as a machinist :fu:). So I guess I'm SOL on that ave ! Now looking into the new Cragar 610 series in 6 lug:eek: Can anyone explain to me what +20 means in relation to back spacing . I only understand when you measure the BS with tape measure & yard stick across:confused: Never took in this Metric stuff , just know what metric wrenches fit what bolts:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

I only understand when you measure the BS with tape measure & yard stick across:confused: Never took in this Metric stuff , just know what metric wrenches fit what bolts:rolleyes: It's means 20mm offset to the inside. As in an 8" wheel, the backspace would be 4" for zero offset, 4" +20mm (somewhere around 4.75") for a +20 wheel. Make sense? Quote Link to comment

Kinda :confused: So if you have a 9" rim , split the width , = 4.5" + the 20mm offset , aprox. .75" , the back spacing then would be about 5.25". Am I even close :confused::confused: or did I flunk the math test :( Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Now you got it. :) Quote Link to comment

drastic520 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 the 6 lugs from ford/lincoln wont fit. i tried before going with the eskies. i actually have a set of 2005 eddiebauer expedition rims and i thought i got lucky when i bought the truck but no luck. bolt pattern is smaller than our trucks!!! bummer cuz they looked good too....
