I swapped my 20inch sport wheels for my 2012 fx4 17’s.. I just need to change the lugnuts to fit the center caps on.
Also installed the rear lowering shackles. Sort of going for a gray man look
I briefly used these 17" Center Line forged wheels, carried over from my '04 F-150 (with Wrangler Adventure All-Terrain tires, not the Bridgestone in the second picture). I would have stayed with a 17" or 18" wheel as tires are much less expensive in those sizes, but I found the best deals on 20" OEM Ford wheels from an '08 FX2 Sport (my all-time favorite wheel) and OEM Hankook tires.
I'm still toying with the idea of a vintage look paint job. The smaller wheels help pull off the look. That's besides the fact that smaller wheels with taller rubber generally perform better in all areas except handling responsiveness.
I agree and they aren't racetrucks anyway.
Some steel XL wheels, powdercoated white, might complete the vintage look.

The lower profile tires also help with towing as there's less lateral movement. Towing with my 17's feels completely different than with my 20's, especially on bumpy and uneven roads.
