Default Lug spacing

I know my 1997 f150 4x4 is 5x135mm. But what else does that convert to? i see 5x4.5 is that the same? I have looked at a chart but can't really decode it.

Only wheels that will fit are one's that comply with the 5x135mm bolt pattern

5x5.5 is 5x139.7, they will NOT bolt up without modification to the lug holes and that's not a safe way to do things. You need 5x135mm wheels. There aren't any other's that fit

Yah definantly not gonna fit. 5x135mm converts to 5x5.31inches. Only way your gonna get a 5x5.5 or any other size wheels to fit is with wheel spacers/adaptors.

Ok thank you guys for clearing it up! I thought 5x135 was the only thing that fit just wanted to make sure.
