I saw this on wheelsforless.com is this true?

1997-2003 F150
These year model F150's have a 5/135 bolt pattern except for F150 XL's that have a 7 lug 7/150 bolt pattern. These trucks take 16" and larger wheels.


I have a 03 xl f150, does that mean I am an odd man and have 7/150 bolt patterns?

 

doubt it, that lug pattern is for the 7700# series F-150s that came out. they have the beefier suspension for hauling a bigger load and came with the 7 lug wheels. unless your truck has the 7700# option then you will have the standard ford 5 lug wheel pattern

 

pop off your center cap and take a look . . .

 

does that mean I would have 7 bolts?

 

if you have te 7700# package then you will have that bolt pattern, so yes if you popped off your center cap you would have 7 lug nuts, all the others have the 5x135 bolt pattern, jsut see how many lug nuts you have

 

id say probably 70% of the XL's have 5x135

If your truck looks like a 2wd ride height you definetly have 5x135
