Wheel swap

Hi everybody,
I have an 03 F250 super cab 4x4 short bed. It's got the 5.4 in it. I had a quick question. I was looking at some older aluminum slots. The guy states they were on a 79 F250 and he said he had them on a 97 F250. Would these fit my 03? The wheels are 8 on 6.5 and I know my wheels are 8x170 mm. I'm not sure the difference between metric and american. Thanks all!!

Chuck

BTW, What other task would I have to go through if I just decided to put 18 through 20 factory wheels on my 03?

The lug pattern and lug nut type changed in 99. You can use 99-04 wheels on your 03. In 05, the wheel offset changed.
