F150 Tire/Wheel Guys

[elksnout]

After truck shopping from heck and back I finally purchased the F150 I wanted. I love this truck but absolutely hate the wheels on it. I knew I’d be swapping them out while buying it. They’re very expensive aftermarket rims and tires. Wrong color for my taste and too frick’n big.

I’m wanting to put stock rims back on it cause I’m old and dislike tires sticking out beyond the fender wells. Here’s my question. It’s a 2023. Searching market place I’m finding the type of rims I’m interested in but am confused whether or not they will work. I mean I know they will physically fit but what about those air pressure sensors? As an example will rims from older F150’s be able to be programmed on my truck? New sensors are about fifty bucks a pop.

I’ll be selling off my tired 2014 F150 which does have sensor rims. Can I swap them out with the 2023? I stopped by Swhabs today and they weren’t very helpful once I told them I wasn’t buying new and just asking for technical assistance.


Thanks

Just swap the sensors and have someone re-train them. Probably goes without saying, but you'll have to balance the wheels/tires when done.

Your '14 sensors won't program to your 23 truck, but you can take the sensors out of your factory wheels and put them in your new wheels that you get.

FWIW we have had bad luck with aftermarket sensors. I'd suggest buying Ford sensors. When you said $50 a piece, that's got to be aftermarket.

Does it have an aftermarket lift? Stock rims and tires may not be the best answer... May have to up size... I prefer a lot of sidewall over rim...

Truck does have a 2” leveling kit on front only.

Dang, it took me about a year but I finally sold my '23 stock F150 wheels and tires a few months back. Would have been convenient if I still had them!

You can always go aftermarket and pick an offset that's close to the stock +44. I went with +25 and they barely stick out. That's a 3/4" difference. With mud flaps on the front and rear I only get a little mud sling on the body if I'm turning the front wheels a good bit at speed. Very happy with the look and functionality.

Not many aftermarket options in +44 (in 18" diameter) but quite a few in +35 and +30 which would be ~3/8" to ~1/2" out further. A few more +44 options in 20" diameter and 17" diameter.

The website below is decent for shopping as they carry a lot of options. The user submitted picture gallery they have is also awesome for getting an idea of how a wheel/tire combination will fit and look.

For tires, I also have a 2" level and went with Falken Wildpeak AT4W 285/75/R17. That's about the max you can fit without rubbing. Can convert that to 18" or 20" wheel with a converter chart to get an idea of the height and width in inches. That much sidewall paired with an air compressor so I can air down/up for a extended forest road driving is a game changer!
