Question
Hello.I am wondering if the bolt patteren on a 1988 F150 is different than a 1998 F150.I am looking at buying after market wheels for my 1988 and the styles are limited.
The bolt patterns may be similar but body style may not work for interchanging wheels.Your best way would be to measure the hubs and check if the newer model matches.Or simply ask a tire store.I cant help you too much as i have never tried this.Most after market parts will say if they fit ,so if it doesnt include your truck,i would say they will not work.
