You gotta be kidding me, 5 on 5.5 is one the single most used lug patterns out there. Jeep, dodge and ford use it.
5 x 5 1/2 in. - Wheels - SummitRacing.com look literally like over 1000 choices depending on size, style, etc.
All that work to fit newer style lug pattern for the wheels imho is stupid.

You wont find stock wheels that size ever for an F150, ford used 15 inch wheels during that era on all F150s. I have never seen a 16 inch factory wheel except for F250/F350's. The only exception is of that era ever to receive factory 16 inch wheels was the lightning.
I mean I could be wrong, but Ive never ran across one ever. Almost all the trucks back during that period used 15 inch wheels too be they chevy, ford, dodge, toyota, nissan, etc. If you want 16 inches your gonna have to find lightning wheels or go aftermarket. There are many ones that look super similar to the ford 10 holes since alcoa made them for ford.

If you want to change bolt pattern just buy some adaptors.
Or if you want 97-03 wheels all you have to do is drill them out some. Very common swap with gen1 Lightnings with Gen2 wheels.

Wheels from newer trucks have the wrong offset for our trucks, they all have large amounts of positive offset(hub towards the outer rim edge) while our trucks require a wheel with neutral offset(hub at the center) or a small amount of negative offset(hub towards the inner wheel rim. So even if the bolt patterns were the same wheels from newer trucks would sit way in under the fender on our trucks and besides looking stupid that would also present rubbing issues on the suspension and steering components.

If you want aftermarket wheels that are 16 and/or 17 inch you shoudl be able to find some that will fit. All it takes is money and time to find them.
