has anyone ever put 16" aluminum wheels from an expedition on there 97 up 150 4x4?????
i know they will fit the bolt pattern, but are the lug nuts the same??? any clearance problems???
any help
thanks
I'm not a wheel expert, but if your talking stock wheels, I doubt you will have any problems at all. Mechanically the expedition is the same as a F-150. I can't see ford redesigning anything they don't have to (costs money). All of this is assuming you are talking 1st generation Expedition. The newer version I can't comment on. When in doubt, call Tire Rack and see if one of their wheel gurus can help.

The wheel from a 2002 or older Expedition will work with no problems but they wont work from a 2003 or newer one. This is because the new gen Expeditions have 6 lugs per wheel, as do the new F-150s.

Raven nailed it. 97-2003 F-150's and 97-2002 Expeditions have wheels patterns that are interchangable.
Yea, i found that out the hard way. During Christmas we went to Colorado in our 03 Expedition, and it still has the crap-ass Contatrac SUV factory tires. We figured the roads would be pretty icy/snowy so we were just going to switch my tires (BFG AT's) with the Expo's...except that when i popped off the lugcover i saw that my truck was a 5 bolt, and the expo was a 6 bolt pattern. We ended up just taking it to a small tireshop and having them put my tires on the Expo's wheels, and vice versa. Then we had to switch them back when we got home...it was a big pain, and cost about 100 bucks total.
