Is it possible to put 17 or 18 inch rims and tires from an F-150 on the X? cuz someone is willing to give me some AT tires that are on an F-150 but i have 16 inch rims and he thinks he has 17 or 18 inch rims is it possible to switch if he has 31's on his F-150 and i have stock lift?

PS if anyone has done this or lifted first then done it please post some pics...thanks guys
 






This might be a problem for you. The explorers have a 5x4.5 bolt pattern while the F-150s have a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Aside from that you would have to look into the backspacing of the rim and how well it might work on your car. I do not know much about the deal with how much backspacing the rims have or what you would need but to my expirience the bolt patterns would not mach up unless you got some type of wheel spacer that fit the 5x4.5 and then on the wheel side had the 5x5.5.
