How to measure your Ford F-150’s bolt pattern
The above specification should be all you need to start tire changes on your 2002 Ford F-150, but if you want to be sure for yourself, there’s a way you can check!
You need a measuring tape (or a basic ruler). How you measure depends on how many studs (lugs) you have. Once you figure out how many lugs you have, you now know the first part of your bolt pattern (5).
You now need a diameter. Since the F-150 has five-lug wheels, you should measure from the middle point of one hole to the back end of the hole across from it. Once you know what that measurement is, you have your diameter and your bolt pattern!
