Default 2018 raptor wheels and tires on 13 fx4

I'm new to this forum. I want to put 2018 raptor wheels and tires (new take offs ebay $1300) on my 2013 FX4
What is the easiest and least expensive way to make these fit?
Thanks for the help....

You will have to change out the TPMS. The ones from the '18 wheels have a different frequency than the ones from your '13. Battery life on the TPMS is 5-6 years so it would be worth it to change them out with new ones rather than using the old ones.

Got it. Thanks
Do you have any suggestions for a leveling kit?
I read that the Bilstein b8 5100 will work with no rubbing.
Any help would be appreciated.

the bilsteins are the cheapest/best option for the low end. You can go cheaper with spacers but you probably need new shocks anyway.

Better options would be a 2” coil over like fox or halo lifts. Even better would be a 2.5” Coilover like fox, icon, king. Depends on how much you want to spend.

I don’t know the stock tire size for the raptors but I am running a 295/55/20 which is basically a 11.5” wide by 33” tall tire on a stock truck with 2015+ wheels. I could have easily fit a 34” tire height wise. Width is where you will start to run into minor trimming issues with those height tires. Get into 35” tall tire and you will start to run into issues with the height.
