yeah 99 and up went to metric, 8x170mm... those "98" F250's... well we wont even talk about those..... some may know what I mean.

Your truck has 8X6.5 bolt pattern. I believe that GM and Dodge still use 8x6.5 all the way up to the 2011's

Ford E-series vans, actually still use, even the 2011 models, still use our old standard bolt pattern. If you can find rims off a van, they will fit.

I had been wondering about that. I pass a tire shop all the time and see a 2008 ford van with the old alcoas and center caps out side from time to time.

To the OP, any aftermarket wheels you find will fit....unless they were intended for a 99+ ford. OEM wheels from a dodge or chevy will have the same lug pattern but the center hole may be a bit too small. Most people just enlarge the hole to fit the wheels.
