Unfortunately none. It is specific to the 97-03 F150, Navigator and Expedition.

Ford made 16's and 17 inch wheels for 97-03 (04 H). FX4 wheels are 17 inches and some of the 5 crescent rims also. There seems to be an over abundance of 16's, but fewer choices in 17's.

Personally I had Ultra Wheel 16's and went to the 2001-03 FX4 wheels. They are 17's with 275-70 tires. You can put some big tires on the 16 inch rims if you wanted. Being 17's doesn't make a lot of difference, unless you want to go to 35's or 37's, and I've seen a few of those in 16's, so it's preference more than actual use. If the FX4 style wheel had be available for 16's I would of just as gladly had those. I went for what looked good, not for the size of the rim.
