The bolt pattern is 5x135mm, and the only vehicles (that I know of) that used this pattern were the 97-03 F150. In later years (00 and up, I think) the studs went from 12mm to 14mm. You can put later stock wheels on an early truck, but not the other way around. They won't fit over the larger studs. I think someone posted that the stamped steel stockers will fit over the larger 14mm studs but I'm just not sure enough to say for certain. Most aftermarket wheels use a lug-centric design so it doesn't make much difference. They'll be sold as fitting all 97-03 F150s.

Before 97, they were 5x5.5, and after 03 they were 6-lug with 135mm pattern.

4x4 and 4x2 are the same hub diameter and bolt pattern.

a 16 inch rim is the smallest wheel that will fit on a 97-03
