F150 Rims and Tires???

Does anyone know if the 18" 2004 F150 Rims with 275/65/R18 tires will bolt right on to a stock 2004 4x4 Expy? I know the bolt pattern is the same, but will there be any rubbing issues? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Should fit fine. I'm running 285/70R17's on my 03 4x4 with no problems. They are about 1/2 inch larger than 275/65R18's in both width and height.

Okay, thanks! That's what I was thinking, but the guy at the tire store insisted that they would rub.

Find out if the offset of the F150 rims is different from the Expy rims. I'm running stock rims. Maybe the F150 has an odd offset that sucks 'em in or pushes 'em out and that's why the tire guys thinks they'll rub. He may just think the 275/65R18's will rub because they are 1/2 inch wider and taller than the stock 265/70R17's. I imagine you'll be fine.

Do you know a good way to measure the offset? Do you know what the offset is on the stock Expy rims? Thanks for your help!
