Talking Help needed on wheels/tires!!!

Ok heres the deal...i have a set of Lexani 17x7.5 rims from my old car that are too nice to be sitting in the garage collecting dust. I have a 97 Expedition 5.4 4x4 w/ the stock 17in rims and 265/70 tires. Now my question is..can i throw those Lexani's on there without having any problems? I need to replace those 265/70 tires, so if the rims will work..could you guys recommend some tires as well? Thanks alot!!

What kind of bolt pattern do the rims have? The F150s and Expys have 5 on 135mm bolt patterns, and as far as I know it is about the only thing that uses that bolt pattern. I kinda doubt that they will fit, but I may be wrong.

Well i just found my invoice from the rims..it says "Wheel Installation Kit-12mm x 1.50" I have no idea when it comes to this stuff but sounds like they wont fit...is there anyway to modify the bolt patterns to get them to fit??

From those measurements it sounds like the "wheel installation kit" as they call it is nothing more than your lugs and studs...
