Ford rims: srw VS drw

Yes, They'll fit.

Quick answer. Sell the 18s and buy some used 17 dually wheels and tires from craigslist with at least all terrain tires on them. I wouldn't hinky up a brand new truck over a few dollars.

Agree^^^^I would not put the 18s on the DRW.

If I understand he wants to remove his 6 tires/wheels on the DRW and install the 4 tires/wheels from the SRW for the winter. As long as nothing rubs what is the problem???

That's exactly what I want to do, but am unsure if the rims from the srw tires will fit/work on the drw. I don't care how it looks for the winter, but just hate the thought of having to get new rims/tires when the time comes for the drw for winter use. Otherwise, will have to sell the rims/tires I got last year and may have a party interested if I do. Would rather keep/use them myself if they'd all work.

Okay guys, maybe it's just me! I personally would not take a near new DRW truck, and change all the wheels, just to make it more winter worthy. If the snow/ice gets to be too much for the DRW, I'd just leave it parked. I've owned new trucks/cars most of my adult life. If I needed a second truck, or Winter car, I just bought one, to be sold when I was done with it.

I know Cummins has more than one truck, that could be used for Winter, rather than mess with his DRW.

I'd sell the 18" tires/wheels, should be lots of interested buyers.

Around here there is no shortage of vehicles that have a dedicated winter wheel/tire combos. If you have never driven with a dedicated winter tire you may be surprised.

You would have to take off the front spacers, then the SRW tire should run in near the proper place. The back should put the tire about in the center of where the duels would be. The tires wont run in the same tracks.

What the HE!! is "WINTER" ??? I love my second truck I use while at our Northern WARM home base.

Thanks. Good advice and will look into at as I have to stop at tire shop later today.

As for a 2nd vehicle/truck.........well the tree in the backyard is kinda empty right now so it's not in the cards.
