Got set of the f150 wheels for good price. This is what it looks like on the expy. Found out it is only about 1/8 inch stick out.

IMG_20211219_092435.jpgfor the center cap, remove the metal piece, and drill a hole (please ignore the ugly cutting)IMG_20211219_092332.jpguse 3 layer of 3M auto tape to raise the metal piece and seal with silicone caulk.IMG_20211219_092407.jpgthis is what it looks like on the wheel.IMG_20211219_092500.jpg

Looks great, very nice. Hope it stays together in cold, heat, snow, rain, and wind.

Lots of guys have trimmed the end of the axle shaft to avoid the issue as well. Lots of different solutions to run F150 wheels.

I had the excess cut off.
I cut mine down to fit as well on my 2016 Expedition. However, I have since added the Bora spacers. If I had done this mod first there would have been no need to cut.
