New Wheel Recommendations

Hi all this is my first post here, after this winter is over I'm planning on buying a set of chrome wheels for my 2015 F250, the truck is black with all chrome except for the wheels and its really bugging me! I will also be using the stock wheels to run a set of dedicated snow tires for plowing in the winter. One question I have is how do the new wheels work with the locking HUBS, will I need to modify the center cap or should wheels that work for the truck already fit the HUBS? Also any recommendations you guys have on a specific set of wheels that look good on the trucks or a good place to look would be much appreciated! I will try and get pictures posted as soon as I can!

Any wheel that will fit your truck will work with the hubs, but the center cap may be your issue. I carry an Allen wrench to remove my center caps in the very rare event that I would need to manually lock my hubs. It's really a matter of your personal preference. Some like the look of the manual hub, others prefer to cover them up.


Here are pictures of my wheels with and without the cap installed:

Thanks for the reply Cabra, that makes sense with the center cap! I really like those wheels your running are the pictures of the ones mentioned in your signature? Also I was wondering what that stock wheel size is on these trucks I know there is a 17" and 18" option but I'm not sure on the rest of the specs? And whats the biggest size wheel you can run without any issues?

This link should help you with the wheel options that were available on the 2015 SD.

As for my wheels, the pictures above are of the Fuel Off Road wheels in my signature. I see a lot of guys with 33's and no modifications to the truck, but I'm not as familiar with the newer trucks so you might try searching the forums for threads on wheel fitment.
