help..... wheel question

I have a 1997 ford f-150 4x4 . My question is would 5on5.5 bolt pattern fit on my truck? I recently came across a good deal on craigslist for a set of 16x10 5on5.5 rims. Thanks in advance.

5 x 135mm I believe

Another wheel question: what is the stock OEM backspacing on our F-150 aluminum wheels?

these factory wheels are 4.5 back space. the 5.5 inch centers are the older 80-96 trucks. after 97 is 135 mm. they will not interchange, but they look close.

Jeez, I can't believe I have another wheel question, but I am looking at the aftermarket wheels available.

Has anyone ever weighed an aluminum 1997-2003 wheel to get its overall weight? I know they are light, and one of my overall goals is to not shell out money for some 4x4 wheel that is much heavier (that just wouldn't make sense unless I was doing rock-climbing competitions).
