Can you give me some ideas and or pics and I want to keep it stock and not lift it if possible ?
I'd like chrome or brushed aluminum
Thanks for the help

I went OEM with '04 Superduty 18" rims, they currently have 275/65's on them, they would fit fine on a stock height truck. With my extra height from the spring swap I will be going to 35"s soon.
Hey, I'm Tom too and I'm just South of pretzels and cheesesteaks!
Nice looking truck!

285/75-16 BFG All Terrains and 16x8 Eagle Alloy polished aluminum wheels. My Ex is lifted in this picture but this combo clears at stock height.

I like that look. Thanks for the pic. Do you know what number rim that is ? Is it an 055 ?

I like these too, they're my favorite Ex wheels. I like the OEM look of the white letters though, probably because it just gives me something else to be **** about cleaning... It's a problem.

I'd love to get some custom wheels, but with the salt they put on the roads here, they just don't stay nice long.

Dumb question: do the '04 superduty 18" rims fit the excursion without spacers? are they the same offset and backspacing as the stock excursion rims?

thanks

Not a dumb question at all! We just had a thread on this a couple weeks ago. They will fit fine with no spacers. They were actually planning to put these wheels on the Ex as an option for Eddie Bauers and Limiteds in '05. Apparently they scrapped that plan though and it never happened. But suspension wise, everything is the same with the Super Duty so these wheels will fit fine.

I like them and I think it's the only wheel I'd consider as a replacement wheel in place of the standard Ex wheel.

It's important to note, there are a few variations of this wheel. There's the King Ranch version, like Tom has, and then there's the Harley version. The Harley version has extra bar things cast into the wheel for appearance, as well as a Harley logo, that the KR don't. I also understand there are polished and matte versions of both as well.

Actually I think mine are from a Lariat, I think the KR's had gold or tan painted pockets between the spokes, mine are silver. I'm also pretty sure the KR's had different center caps with the KR logo and more pronounced faux lugs, my caps are the originals from the F-250 the PO took them off of.
Here's the earlier 18" wheel thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...th-18-s-3.html
