1. Raptor wheels (real ones anyways) are 6 lug and only fit a 2004-2015 F-150/Expy
2. Raptor wheels are 18"

sounds like you got doped into buying the wrong wheels, or have fake Raptors. pics?

Don't listen to these negative Nancie's, just remove two of your wheel studs, put them on and you're golden! Might have to tack weld a bit but that's no big deal. Running some wooden 3' spacers would really set it off too

Apoc you've got it all wrong... You're supposed to pull ALL the studs, then weld the wheel flange directly to the hub on the rotor. Duh.

You can't weld to wood, so if you want the 3 foot spacers you have to keep the studs... newbz, I swear.

Raptor wheels are actually 17", all 3 styles of them

2010-2012 Ford F150 Raptor 17" 3831 - All Factory Wheels

That said, no way to put these on an Excursion safely.

You guys are all over thinking the situation. He just need to get a set of 8 lug to 6 lug adaptors...

Why am I not surprised someone makes these. And worse - that people will buy them...

Some people are more preoccupied with looking good or being unique. Even if that compromises safety in the process.

Sometimes there's no accounting for taste with some people. Ever seen a donk? Ridiculously idiotic. Ugh.
