You need an F-150.

You need to keep looking for wheels, bud.

And just what do you propose to do with the FRONT hubs?

Honestly, this is one of the LEAST-well-thought-through questions I've seen here at FTE.

I'm with the others, just change the truck, or keep looking for rims.

Since when did a "wide selection of custom wheels" become the most important consideration?

You obviously bought the wrong truck to begin with.

Sheesh.......

wheel adapters would be the best bet, then you can actually sell the vehicle later on if you need to.

You forgot something:

3. It's me in the lane next to you, and I don't want you careening into me when you shear off the studs, so I'm not going to help you make a Darwin-award level mod that has a very high chance of injuring people who AREN'T you.


If you're buying custom wheels.... can't they cut whatever lug pattern you want? You're still limited to a 17" wheel minimum, so no 16" steelies or 16.5" Humvee tires.

This guy's gotta be a kid. They know everything, and it's all about them!

By his "coppin' da' 'tude", I'd estimate he's not yet twenty, maybe not even nineteen.

Someday he'll have his priorities straight, and safety for his kids and others may even be near the top.
