Axle patterns

Is the lug pattern on a 1997 Ford F-250 HD the same as a 2000 f350 super duty. I’m doing a swap and don’t know if I need new rims or no

i believe the knuckles will interchange, it would be worth trying. Only question would be axle shaft and stub shaft lengths between the two and not knowing if the housings are the same length as well as center diff chunk etc.

IF that doesnt work Probably most cost effective way would be to have the 8x170 hubs drilled for your 8x6.5 at a machine shop.
