Raptor Wheels

I got to wondering if the Raptor 17" wheels will fit my 2009 150. I see no reason why not. I was planning to keep the Scorpions until they are worn out, but I just don't like the 20s nor the performance of the tires. Anyone know if the Raptor wheels fit other 150s?

Thanks... For some reason I had it in my mind the 17" wheels have clearance issues with the brakes; I know this is unlikely since 09 and up 150s come with the 17s. Just a 'brain cramp' on my part I guess. I like the 17" wheel 'look' better. I'm just not used to the 'small' sidewall of the 20" wheel, nor am I a fan of the $$$ it takes to purchase new 20s.

I would bet those wheels have low backspacing like 4.5". So they will stick out quite a bit not allowing bigger tires, without a lift.

Yeah, I wondered about this and I found this listing on eBay...

Fits 2010 F150 Raptor
Black painted finish with machined lip
6-lug 135mm bolt circle
6.16" backspacing
34mm offset
17" X 8.5" wide

Anyone have the 'stock offset' for the 20" rims handy?

I have searched the 'net a good bit and I think I have my answers....

Raptor wheels are 17" x 8.5" wide, have 6.16" backspacing with a 34 offset.
Stock FX4 20s are 20" x 8.5" wide have 5.5" backspacing with a 44 offset.

Given the difference in backspacing and offset, and if my understanding of each is correct, these should fit and be positioned in the wheel well at about the same place. I am interested in other 'informed' opinions. I'm not looking for a bigger tire, dimensionally, than I have now. I believe a P275/70R17 will be as close as I can get.

Thoughts?
