2003 F-150 Wheels on an early 2000 (mfd. 10/99) Expedition EB?

[kythri]

Just picked up a 2000 EB for dirt cheap, and need to get rid of the stock chrome rims. Not a fan.

I'd like to install a set of these, the '03 F-150 rims:



Only thing is, I'm learning that my 2000 was manufactured in 10/99, and therefore has 12mm wheel studs, whereas the later Expeditions (and the '03 F-150) have 14mm wheel studs.

What does this mean for me? That I'm unable to use these wheels?

If that's the case, what all does it entail to convert mine to run these rims? Am I able to knock the 12mm studs out of my hubs, install 14mm studs, new rotors, and then I'm good?

Or do I need all new hubs? Can I install 14mm hubs, new rotors, and go from there?

97-03 wheels are interchangeable.

you can use the wheels. only issue is you will need the correct size lug nuts for your truck. not a big deal at all.

btw great choice of wheel i would love a set!

Sweet! Far easier than I expected. I was worried, what with the talk I had read here and on other sites regarding the whole 12mm/14mm switch-up.

Much appreciated!

I'm going to score some stock wheels with Wild Country TXR tires with half tread for $400.00 bucks.The hub caps look different.I guess theres only one wheel?
