whats the bolt pattern for a 79 f150 4x4 i went and bought some factory aluminum rims off a newer f150 and they wouldent fit so i drilled em out but they ride weird. i know probally not safe so i parked the truck. its 5 lug. any help would be apreciated.

Pre-'97 is 5x5.5", '97 up is metric, I don't know exact but google will be your friend. Lug nuts are different too.

Yep 97+ has a 5 on 135mm bolt pattern while the 96- have 5 on 5.5" and as mentioned they are hub centric vs lug centric unless you drilled them out exactly where it need to be the wheels will be WAY out of balance.
