Who else runs F150 wheels on their 3rd Gen?

What size wheels and tires are you all using? I'll need new tires before winter and I'm also seeing that takeoffs are the same price, I'd like to go to 18" from 20" for more sidewall.

 

[DeafBringer]

going from 18" rims to 20" rims would give you less sidewall.

He says he wants to go to 18” from 20, so he is correct, it will give him more sidewall.

oooops misread that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Down to 17" rims will work on the Expeditions, clearing the calipers and all that. I'm running 17" Raptor take-offs with 35" tires without issue.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for those. I'm not looking for anything too aggressive unfortunately, I really like my Defenders and how quiet they are compared to some other treads.

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

Did you have to cut the rear axles for those wheels?

Did you have to cut the rear axles for those wheels?

Yes. Pretty sure any and all F150 wheels on an Expedition need a slight trim.

Yup, took a grinder and whacked about 1/4" off the axle, not even down to the threads. Just enough to get the center cap on.

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

They ride great! No issues with ride quality. I actually really like this tire as it's much quieter than my 18s were.
