You should be able to fit both 5X7 or 6X8. You can also get a mounting braket 5 1/4 speakers as well. The stock speakers out of my 2002 XLT were 5X7.
If you want a great sounding replacement speaker and have a good budget check out JL Audio XR-570 CXI and CSI's. By far the best 5X7 speaker on the market. I have both sets amplified with 75 watts going to each, and they are sweet.

The best 5x7/6x8's I've heard, in order:

JL XR's
Pioneer Revs
Infinity Kappas

They all need to be amped, though (at least 50 watts/per, preferrably more)

I think the only differance between the two are the mounting positions/ holes. I have the JL's and they sound unbelievable for the $$. I'm going to a shop this week to get there opinion on the sound.
