The FORD replacement wheels you purchase from FORD parts are different than the ones installed at the factory despite the identical part #.
I'm looking to get a spare for my 2021 E450 Class C as well. I didn't realize that the specs are different with the same part number.
I had been considering getting 4 new Alcoa rims (2 front, 2 rear outer) and keeping the 2 rear steel inner. I saw a video saying why Ford had aluminum alloy rims on the outside, but steel inside because of the thicker aluminum rims. Having aluminum inner and outer would not have long enough wheel studs to hold. If I go this route and use my existing tires, I would then just need to get an additional tire for the spare on one of the 4 factory rims. The Alcoa rims run $1,199.
Hello, I looked into the Alcoa wheels for my 2021 E450 and could not get a quote from Les Schwab, America's/Discount Tire, or any shop near Walnut/Diamond Bar. May I ask where you got your quote and did you get those Alcoa's yet?
Thank you!
