wheel swap
Does anyone know of an information source that lists factory wheel
swaps? I have a 98 xlt 4x4 that has the factory 15" wheel/tires on it. There are a lot of pre-mounted factory 16" and 17" take-offs on eBay and the like. Has anyone done this? TIA, RJ |

wheel swap
All Ford Ranger, Mercury and Lincoln Aviator SUV wheels have the same
bolt pattern. You can do this but I would not go larger unless you have a 3:73 gear in your truck. The taller 17" wheels will hurt your mileage and kill your pulling power unless you have the 3:73 gears. If you do swap have a Ford dealer go through the OBD II port and change the tire size so your speedometer will read correct. Your 98 has a electronic speedometer and changes can be made through the OBD II port. Go to Tire Rack and look at a set of 245-70 15 tires with the 5 spoke chrome wheels. You can purchase these new for the price of used on e-bay, unless the used set are take-offs that no one wants. No changes are needed with new 15" wheels.
