I put 22” wheels and tires on my 2018 Expy when I first bought it. Had to cut approximately two inches off the rear axle on both sides to get the wheels to fit. The rear axles extend several inches beyond the axle nut for some unknown reason. Any idea if this is the case on 2019-2021 models? I sure don’t want to mess with this on my 2022 but want aftermarket wheels.

How did you deal with it? I had to cut about 2" off each side to get my 22" Dub wheels to fit. I have no idea what purpose it serves to have the rear axle extend out beyond the nut like it does???

Well, I finally got my 2022 Limited Expedition. Ordering aftermarket wheels from DUB. Looking at DUB Flex S255 wheels. Gonna sale my OEM Limited wheels (only, no tires) once my aftermarket wheels come in. What should I ask for the full set of Limited wheels? Where is the best place to list them for sale? Thanks everyone!

what kind of wheels are you upgrading to? i went from 275/65-18 to 275/55-20. no issue at all as long as you choose the wheel with correct offset.
