Harley rims....

[Cdaddy78]

Hello. I'm new to the site, but had a question regarding rims. I have an '02 XLT 4x and was wondering if you can make the Harley Davidson rims fit on those. I know they only list them for f-150 and Expedition. Thanks.

No, they will not fit! Sorry.

Welcome Aboard!!

All f-150/Expedition wheels are a different bolt pattern then Explorers. Explorers use a 5x4.5 pattern.

i knew that was the case, different bolt pattern, but can you work an adapter on those at all?

Adapters are extremely dangerous to use. Just buy a nice set of aftermarket 20's instead and save yourself a lot of trouble.

how so? i thought the 2002's changed patterns?

Changed patterns? As in bolt patterns? Nope. Same as always. The lug size is different on the 01's and higher, but the pattern is the same.

I wouldn't say "extremely" dangerous. They can be dangerous if you buy a cheap set. If you buy a nice, strong set of billet adapters you'll be fine. Personally, I would not do it. It's not worth the trouble. Unless you find a wrecked Harley, Ford will charge you close to $400 per wheel. Plus about $250-300 for a good set of adapters. You do the math, it really doesn't make sense to go that direction.
