Alright guys I ordered new wheels and tires today. I went with Rebel Racing buckshot wheels in 17x9 with a -6 offset and 35x12.50 Arturo Trail Blade XT's. They should be here within a week or so and I'll post pics!

@ Grunz7 I got my Yakima Load Warrior basket rack. Now I gotta order the 18 inche extension to make it a full rack.
I had to slide the rear crossbar forward to mount it but its temporary.
The wind fascia is off BC I painted it Matte Black and had to order a New Yakima Decal BC It had to come off for paint..

I ordered the door jam mounts off eBay for a 04 F150 was like $40.
Then I had to fab them up to fit my 03 Expedition door jam..
The provided screw's would not hold so I got 6 2" long 1/4" bolts with nuts and drilled all the way through the A pillar's and tightened the nuts up then reinstalled the A pillar trim.
But I used Black Marine sealant . I put a 1/4" bead around each hole I drilled then put the mount on and covered the bolt head's .
And so far no water leaks.
If u wanna go this route lmk and I'll post some pic's how I did it to give u a visual of what's involved..

This is he best I got saved on my phone... that is behind the drivers side wheel against the firewall, you'll have to trim the fender liner like I did, and then there will be a big pinch weld sticking out, as you can see I banged that in with a mallet against the firewall and then hit it with undercoat...
let me know if you need better pics I can get some tomorrow.... my truck doesn't run right now lol
