Bolt pattern.

Will the rims off from a 1998 Ford F150 4x4 fit match up to a 2007 JK Sahara?

 

The bolt pattern on a JK is 5x5. So long as the bolt pattern is the same (I really doubt it), they will work. If they aren't, you can always try to get a set of wheel adapters.

 

Is there a way to measure? Maybe from one bolt to the opposite bolt = 5 inches maybe?

 

Yes, that's what 5x5 would be. 5 bolts that are 5" apart from each other.

 

Thanks, I will do this tommorow in the day light. I would imanginie that it would be best to do this with the wheel off?

 

Just as a heads up, it's a little harder to measure bolt pattern for a 5 bolt pattern than it is a 6 because you don't really have two bolts that are directly across from one another.

In order to measure a 5 bolt pattern you need to measure from the dead center of one lug nut/bolt hole (depending on whether your measuring the axle or the wheel) to the FARTHEST edge of the opposite bolt/hole in order to better approximate the actual bolt hole pattern.

Also i know the bolt hole pattern on my 03 F-150 was 5"x135mm which is something like 5"x5.3"

i know the pattern changed at some point during the run of that body style but i don't think it was ever 5"x5" although i could be wrong.

 

The bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. A bolt circle of 5 on 5 would indicate a 5 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 5".

 

Great illustration!!

 

A picture can be worth a lot of words....

 

A picture is worth 1000 words. That's what i was trying to explain
