Raptor wheels & tires on my 2017 SuperCrew?

Hi I'm new to the Forum.
Can I run OEM 2018 Raptor Wheels and Tires in my 2017 Supercap XLT? Assume I would need at least a 2" leveling kit on the front?
Thanks in advan

Both the 1st & 2nd gen machined and black Raptor wheels look great on a regular 150. Wish I'd kept mine.

Doesn't it throw off your speedometer when you put on bigger tires? My truck came with 17s but I put on 18s so would that make it read faster than I'm really going or slower?

Doesn’t matter if you have 17s, 18s or 20s. It’s the overall diameter of the wheel and tire. If the tires are larger than original equipment , they roll less times per mile, so the speedometer will read slower. This can lead to speeding tickets when you believe that you are going the limit according to your speedometer.

It also has an affect on the way the transmission shifts as the vehicle’s proper speed isn’t being indicated to the VSS.

Welcome to the Forum,I hope you have the 2.7l in your ride i watched your video on UTube and i
was sold on this by you and the way you represented it,Didn't like the Dealership that you went
to ask the Wrenches if they liked the Ecoboost most said to many moving parts and said they liked
5.0 the best do they even know all of the Changed Ford did to that all new engine like 4 valves per
cylinder and the Redesigned Pistons and Mains and Rod Bearings,I don't think those Guys between
the 10 you interviewed know Crap have they ever torn a engine down,It looked like it was staged!!!They
looked like to me they are parts changers only.I would never buy from that Stealership.

Lovely. A 5.0 basher..... Why can't we agree that we like the engines we like and let it be? I personally don't like the twin turbo but I ain't going around saying my 5.0 is the best..

Hay I'm not bashing the 5.0 Just meant to state how many changes FORD made to that Engine.
The 5.0 has always been a Great Engine in my Book, Just allot of changes for 2018.

The 5.0 is an all new engine for 2018. It shares nothing with the 2017 and down 5.0.

That having been said nobody here has the best truck or the worst. This is a good board. Recently though it seems that some of y’all are a little too touchy and lash out at anyone who has a different opinion. I’m not a Mod here, but I’ve been around a long time.

A couple or three guys here are ruining threads started by people with legitimate questions or concerns, taking them far of topic and turning them into shouting matches. It needs to stop.

Do you need different lug nuts to run raptor rims on a 2018 xlt?

The one that came with your truck will work.

Update:
I found a set of take-off 2018 Raptor wheels and ordered a set of Wrangler Duratrac from TireRack.

Question:
I need a set of sensor. What are my options? Are they generic of specific to make/model/etc?

Thanks Everyone!
