You stated over on Blue Oval website that you guys are installing the 20" tire/rim setup on the F-150's in high volumes. Is this because the dealers have ordered this setup or is Ford "forcing the hand" onto the dealers because they want the word to get out that this option is now available?

 

I really could not say, IMO I think it's 50/50. I think Ford want's to get this new option out for the public to see and I think there are people that have been waiting for the 20" rim/tire's. To put it in perspective we build A LOT of FX4's and lariat's at Dearborn so I am going to notice a high volume of 20", but we still do a lot of the 18" also. Oh..and thank's for naming a thread after me, I feel special..LOL.

 

Yup DearbornDerek the no all guru off 150s. Nice to have you on board.

 

DearbornDerek, Are any of the wheels/rims going on this year chrome? Thanks!

 

yes, we have the new chrome package on the XLT & Lariat. It's the standard Lariat rim but chrome which means you can now get the 18" rim on the XLT.

 

DearbornDerek, can you tell me what the widths are on the 20 and 18 inch wheels for 06. Thanks

 

DearbornDerek, You really are "THE FORD GUY"! Thanks for the information.

 

I'll try and get the width for the 20" tomorrow The width on the 18" is the same.

 

I have pictures of the 20" rim/tire and the 18" chrome package rim/tire in my gallery

 

They are both about 9", can't be exact because I used my hand to measure it. But I would say 9" is pretty close.

 

now all i need is for some body with plenty of money to buy a chrome package truck and then upgrade there tires so I can get those sweet looking chrome rims for my 04 screw

 

Yeah, I want a set of those CHROME rims.
