the thing is, the rims im wanting to put on it, aren't mine.... im borrowing them off one of my buddies, so i can get an inspection sticker, and to raise a little hell with pizza cuttin tires on the truck haha my tires stick out the sides of my truck about 1/4 inch, and with the WV state law, thats illegal.... and im not about to put gay fender flares on my truck lol

No they won't. 1998 lug pattern = 5x135mm 1996 F150 lug pattern = 5x139.7 or "5x5.5" pattern, same thing. The older truck has a larger wheel pattern than the newer one. To this day, I still don't understand why Ford didn't just keep the same wheel pattern thru 2009
