Default Rims

Eagle Alloy #058 can be gotten for 7 lugs, 17"x8" so they're 1/2" wider than stock if you have 17" now.

I believe Centerline also has some that can be gotten for 7 lugs.

I know they're not easy to find. I've keeping an eye out for a set of steels to run winter tires on. Mine came with alloys when I bought it and I don't want to run them in winter.

04+ have 6 lug

Wouldn't that involve changing the axle shafts themselves?

Plus I don't think you would ever find 6 lug for a 10.25 axle

Ford starting putting 7 lug on 04+ but had some problems with the lugs lossening upon driving, so they switched to 6 lug. I think they have resolved this problem and went back to 7 lug now

the 7 lug is only available with the heavy duty payload, it's a 10.25" axle

thanks. now i have some options on where to get them. just need the cash now!
btw! i wouldn't reccomend adapters for any truck; it might be ok on like a civic. that's kinda the half-assed way of doing it
