Excursion Wheels on a Dent

Hey guy i just picked up wheels & tires off of a 98-2000 Ford Excursion 8 lug will they fit the dent? An the wheels & tires are brand new maybe 700 miles on them if that BFG KO TA off road tires for $300. These are the factory wheels an tires from the factory the guy wanted a bigger set of wheels & tires an left them at a friends shop an he sold them to me for Christmas money. I got my Christmas present early. An I got my old car back a 80 Camaro T-Top an a good 305HO to go in it plus my Christmas shopping done so now its back on the truck full time.

The lug pattern is different, but they can work. Search for drill & sleeve or newer wheels or something similar on here and you'll find how to do it has been discussed in length. I have pics of the 5 spoke style Excursion rims posted and explain how it's done a few times.

Or get a set of adapters. Not cheap though.

Drilling and sleeving is $25-35 a wheel here.

Go to a mom and pop type tire/wheel shop that knows what the heck they are doing.

Also - here's a pics of my truck with the 5 spokes since I just happened across it


*edit* and since I'm feeling nice today here is a what a VERY quick search for "drill sleeve" came up with in this forum. You're welcome...

There were lots of threads discussing it - but this one had the most info + links.
