Hopefully someone here can help. I just bought some 12' raptor wheels for my 03. Yes I know I have 5x135 and these are 6x135. I am looking at running 2", 2 piece wheels adapters which will run about $240. What size and where can I get lugs for these wheels to run on my adapters. I got them at a steal and think they will look great. Here's a little photoshop

I too am looking at 2013 raptor wheels and tires. The only issue i worry about is having the 3.55 gear. Have you guys notice a significant loss in power? Your opinions would be appreciated. I put the level on and the stock michelins (31.9") are tiny and I love the look of the raptor wheels and tires.

ethomass: The Raptor wheels and tires certainly change the whole look and attitude of the truck. I was thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend, unless you might one day like to go with a full suspension lift. 17" wheels are not compatible with the lifts currently available.
That said, I have a 2010 5.4 with 3.55LS. I did notice some power loss, but I can't say it was very significant. I am running a custom tune, so I'm sure that helps out and the 5.4's are known for their low-end grunt, so that certainly helps to get them moving. The BFG TA's are not overly heavy for their size like a comparable mud tire would be...this is also a plus.

I have the 5.0 and you guys may have me sold on these. I like the look of more sidewall on a tire. These trucks in this thread are awesome. The level and big tires are concerned. A tune may come later.
Thanks for quick responses

It also made about a 3 mpg difference.

Well the decision has to be made do i get Raptor wheels or stick with my stock 20's and put bigger tires on them. Both options require a level..what to do what to do....I do love the more sidewall look.
