18 in wheels

I have an 03 excursion 2wd xlt and was wondering if anyone has put on the factory 18 in wheels on theirs and did so without spacers. I'm leaning towards the harley wheels off the F-250. thanks

If you use the 18" Harley wheels from an 04 then you won't need spacers.

I've seen a couple of Excursions with them. They look VERY nice.

I'm new to the Excursion but we recently bought my wife an 05' w/V10. It has Ford 18" wheels on it with 275/65/18 Continental Tires. They rub on the front when at full turn enough that the vehicle can't move in reverse because it is rubbing so hard. The rear rubs on the fenderwell when in off camber positions. I believe this is becaus the rear seems to have a little sag to it. It does not sit level from front to back. I have airbags on order to fix this problem.

cdgofish, You need to get a set of 2" wheel spacers,Hub Pilot style. Your wheels probably came off an '05 up F250/350. Franky Ford Like Monster said '04 Harleys will bolt right on with no rub pronlems. Anything '05 up will cost you extra for a set of spacers. The offsets in '05 changed by about 1 3/4".
