Honestly, I wouldn’t... from what I heard, with it being synthetic (increased lubricity), the clutches in a built transmission doesn’t like it. Gotta let ‘em lockup hard!

Since there’s a lot of force fans on this thread. Saw this 450 today. Riding on 255/70r22.5’s. Damn near perfect fit on that truck

Fords have always had better wheel openings to accommodate larger wheels. They look good with AFs

I agree, Ford duallys really look good with a 20-22” wheel. That’s a good look!

Edit: Graham, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Force fanboy. Just wanted this exact wheel style since about forever.
