Definitely try it yourself. When I did my Power Stop brake kit I remember them being really snug to put back on. I didn’t need to use a hammer or anything but they had to be lined up just right. And then still they need to be even going over the center hub which is hard to do because of the weight with the tires mounted. Mine is a ‘17 SCREW.

Hmmm. That’s strange. Pull a wheel and test fit.

Check the PCD of the studs. Only reason they may not fit is the studs are bent but not likely. The truck is new so it may not have a lot of crud on the hub. Clean it, nevertheless.

Only other thing it could be is the rim is a reject/defective. Let us know what happens.

ok, i was right there when the guy put it up to the studs and then measured it with the measuring thing that showed the studs slightly too far apart, but i will jack it and try myself. i'm hoping it's something easy so i'm not out the cash and not a knock off or something. truck is newish and it's never been ran too hard so i doubt anything is bent and at each DT, we tried a different side to put it on. will try myself tomorrow.

Can't believe a knockoff is that good

hi,
definitely don't fit a real '18 raptor. spacing between the holes on the wheel are definitely different. so happy i was duped. still don't know what/where these are from. but guys from DT said the lug pattern/size would fit a chevy and the new ranger among others.

load of crap from the guy i bought them from when he sold them as "OEM wheels Ford raptor f-150" when they clearly don't fit and he's a **** about it. he has a racing bike, an amg, and a velociraptor in his garage. maybe those are all fake too.

do you have any proof or evidence - ad screen prints, or print ad, receipt of some sort?
if so, take his lying @SS to court.
