Default Understanding Rims

I found a set of 15x7 5x? I think 5 rims off of a GMC Safari and I'm wondering if they will fit my F-150?

Will the .5 make a difference and that is the backspacing, correct?

I did a search and it said that from 1985-2002 the bolt pattern for the Safari was 5x5. I'm hoping they will fit, as they are fairly nice rims

Alright, thanks gents. I'll make sure they are 5x5 or 5x5.5 as they are pretty decent rims for a decent price

No no no, you need 5x5.5, they are 5x5. They WON'T fit.

You don't have to make sure, I told you what they fit. They will not fit your truck.
