Default ‘03 wheel bolt pattern

I did a quick search on google “2003 f150 wheel bolt pattern” and the first thing that pops up is the years and bolt pattern. For instance, my 03 (Per google) has a bolt pattern of 5x4.5/5x114.3. Searching deeper I see people are stating the 03 has a 5x135 bolt pattern. Can anyone confirm which one is correct?

The only pickups that used the 5x114.3 was the Rangers. The F150, 97 to 04H, use 5x135.

I'd definitely return them then, unless you have an Ranger or Explorer. Mustang, Crown Vic, Newer Taurus, etc.

There’s limited alternatives to replacing the stock 16” I have now. What do you guys think of wheel adaptors from our 5x135 to 5x114.3? Of course I would try to locate some hub centric rings once I find the size or conical lugs to help center the wheels.

My advice would be to get wheels with the correct lug pattern.

If you dont have a problem checking them regularly then spacers are just fine. Bora is pretty much the only off the shelf brand I would trust.
