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.

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.

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.
