Wheel adapters
 
Just bought an 06 f150 last month, and tried getting wheels for it but I just noticed that my wheel hub has 7 studs and 90% of f150s wheels r 6. Do they make a adapter or has anyone changed the wheel hub from a 7 to a six. Any help would b appreciated.

If you have 7 lug wheels you need to go to the 97-03 body style thread 04-08 did not come with the 7 lug I'm almost certain of. And 04 and up only have 6 lug 04heritage and older are all 5 lug unless you have 7 lug which is the f150 heavy payload package

You have a Heavy half, known as a 7700 series F150 for 10th gens. I believe it's pretty much a 3/4 ton suspension under your half ton but don't quote me on that.
I have a buddy who swapped his heavy half to 6 bolt but I think he may have swapped the entire axles out to do so, probably an easier way to do so but I'm not too sure what it would be

I was thinking if it was possible to swap out the wheel hubs that would do, but I'm not sure if the 6 stud would even fit on mine. If not I might b able to get a 7 to 6 wheel adapter but I'm having trouble finding one. I guess I need to ask in a machine shop if the can make it for me.

Ford tech specs for the F-150 I downloaded for my 2008 list a 7 lug wheel (17") rated for 2400 lbs. Whether it is real, who knows.

When searching online, you have to look for F150 XL, Heavy Duty Payload 7-Lug.

Those r not that bad. I'll see I guess what's out there wheel wise and if anything I can always get the adapter made

Tirerack was just an example. When looking at other places that ask for make, model, etc... just remember to look for the XL Heavy Duty 7lug. Happy hunting. :)
