True on the rear, but not the front. I believe the bolt pattern is that of a Chevy, but you could have the hubs and rotors redrilled to your Ford pattern.

I did not go that route howvever I suspect that you may be able
to redrill the jag rotors. My only question is if the rotor hub diameter is large enough to get the 5 1/2 bc.
I am not able to get to my truck in the near term. Maybe one of the other guys can check for you.
What I did was to buy new genie style rims that take the original hubcaps. Best buy was Summit Racing. The new rims can be purchased with the 5 x 5 1/2 or the duel bolt patern of 5 x 4 1/2 and 5 x 4 3/4. the jag is 5 x 4 3/4. New rims powder coat primes were about $80 each delivered.
