Yes. 1998 and 1999 Expeditions both used a 5 x 135mm bolt pattern.
BTW, be aware that beginning in 2000, the diameter of the wheel lugs was increased, making swapping wheels on pre-2000 to 2000-2002 applications a potential problem.

Of course you know, the '03's got all new lug patterns.

The only thing I don't like about using post-1999 factory rims on 1997-99 models is the idea of fitting wheels set up for 14mm lugs on 12 mm lugs. My worry is that the wheels would rotate (shift) a little bit on the hubs during acceleration or braking, particularly since the lug nuts have a flat bearing (not conical) surface.
Would anything happen as a result? Got me.
