I've purchased a set of Raptor R 37" wheels and rims w/TPMS for my 2022 Raptor 35". Will I need to swap out my TPMS on my 35" with the 37" TPMS or will the 37" TPMS work? I plan on taking it to the dealer to have them swap out the tires and re-program.
Also, why all the hate with the Ford Performance black lug nuts? What lug nuts would you recommend with the Raptor R wheels?

I put 2024 or 2025 (not sure if they came off a 20 or 25 truck) Raptor R wheels on my 2021 and my truck is not reading the TPMS. Could be different sensors on the newer trucks. I am taking it to the dealer next week to get it figured out. I can't say 100% sure that mine came with TPMS, but should have. They were take offs from the company that does the Shelby conversions. I can't imagine that they would delete the TPMS but don't know for sure.
I put the Ford lugnuts on my truck. Somebody said if you are going OEM wheels to stick with the Ford lugnuts. I also heard people complain they used another brand and there was a gap or an area the lugnut did not cover.

Hey Hemmy, I am picking up the same R wheels with 37s to put on my 2025 35 package this weekend. Are you stock suspension and if so any issues? I’ve read other threads on forum that guys are running them with zero rub but have you noticed any difference you feel in driving, braking, MPG loss, etc?? Thanks in advance as I’m looking forward to doing the same set up!

You're only going to have like a 1 or 2 MPG hit. driving should be slightly better and brakes will be negligible.


Remember you need to change the tire size on the truck to comp for the different tire size. You can have the dealer do that or if you have FORScan.

Installed the Raptor R wheels with 37” KO2
Confirmed also zero rub on stock suspension of 35 package Raptor and plenty of room which is surprising.

First impression is super smooth and agree that the ride is a little softer in a good way though. I honestly can’t tell the difference in acceleration or braking, but I’m sure it’s a little worse if I took real numbers. The look of the 37s worth it IMO. Def glad I made this decision to stay with 17” wheel as I put 20’s on my last Raptor and regretted.

Plus the +32 offset of the R wheels really keep them stuffed inside the fenders

Sorry for the late reply. Your truck looks great! I love the R wheels and 37's on my truck. The biggest difference that I have noticed is definitely the gas. I am probably losing about 1.5 mpg with the 37's on, but not that big of a deal. I am on stock suspension and have zero rubbing. I wanted to keep my suspension stock because I have a boat that I tow. This is why I went with the the R wheels. I don't like the current 37pp wheels and I looked and never really found anything aftermarket that I liked. Everything I like aftermarket usually had 0 offset. I wanted to try to keep the wheels as close to stock offset as possible and still get 37's without having to add any kind of lift or do any trimming.
