Who else runs F150 wheels on their 3rd Gen?

[MidnightBruce]

Just wanted to share this here because I hardly ever see guys running newer F150 wheels and tires on their 3rd Gen and they look amazing! New tires run the same price as a full set of take offs with new tires. $100 bucks at America's Tire to swap TPMS and balanced/mounted. Such a killer deal and a great look. I'm sure some of you have seen my first couple of posts because I'm so stoked at how this looks! I'm actually shocked! If 3rd gens came like this factory, Ford would have sold more.

Excited to be here! I have put a lot of work into keeping this tank in tip top shape for my family. Love my 2016 XLT EL.

I hope more guys see this and jump on the train. Best looking wheel I have seen so far on a stock 3rd Gen and can be had at a great $.

Well I'll jump in - I LIKE IT! I currently own a black 2019 TRD-OR 4Runner - looks like a miniaturized version of your Expedition. Will be trading it soon for a 16/17 Expedition (4WD) due to the 4runners weak towing capacity - other than that it has been an awesome ride. I really like the look of your lift (not too high and not too low). The F150 wheels look perfect!

I forget what year F150 these came off. I like them a lot.

 

[MidnightBruce]

That's what I previously had on the expedition! 2018 F150 sport.

Thanks man! I love the look of the forerunner! As far as I know this is factory ride height. The only addition is the wheels and tires and it makes a massive difference. Those are 33-in diameter so I think that gives it that taller appearance. It's a great balance for sure. Since it's my wife's car, I really don't have any plans to do additional modifications outside of a tune. Has been a very reliable vehicle.

I have 2018 F150 wheels, powder coated black, on my 2014. Here they are on my 2009 that I had previous to it.

Dang I love those setups!

Wheels look good, seem to remember a fitting issue on the rear for f-150 wheels on the third gen.

Yes. You have to grind a little bit off your axle shaft. No big deal. About 45 seconds with a cutoff wheel per side. About 1/2” or so- maybe.

 

[Frank Wilson]

Yeah, you have to trim the Axles for Raptor wheels , in order to run 35's

Keep in mind she getting old, 16 years, 160k ( I'm worried she will need a timing job around 200 to 250k. no engine should need that until 400k. ) those darn 5.4' s that need oil changes every 5k miles. That's why my next " truck" will be an ecoboost that hits 400k with zero problems.

I see you haven’t been keeping up with the ecoboosts very well……

2021 f150 takeoffs. Absolutely love them.

Thanks, seems easy enough.

Those were my second choice. Looks great

If I were running four-wheel drive I definitely would have gone this route for sure. It looks really great!

Yep, it's definitely easy! Just hit it with some flat black paint after trimming to keep the rust demons at bay

 

[HawaiiFiveOh]

I can’t remember what year these were available but I decided on the gun metal/anthracite over the black.

How is the ride quality? I have the same Expedition and have the option of getting these same new takeoffs. I like how they look

 

[fuzzmanmatt]

Got some takeoffs on mine! I think it looks pretty good compared to the old stock ones, and they actually hold air!
