Wheel swapping... will they fit???
I have not tried it, but I have been told that they will not fit. This was because of the center hole on the new trucks was a different size. I believe they said they are larger.

They won't fit because the new bolt pattern is metric. I'm not sure why that would be a good idea from Ford's standpoint....
