They should. Not 100% sure on that.

You'll have to measure the lug holes to ensure proper fit. Just because they are 8 lug doesn't mean the same. Also double check backspacing and clearence on the back of the wheel. Nothing like hoisting one of them suckers on the lugs and realize it doesn't fit over your brake drum.

Nope, the Ford wheels will not fit. They have a different 8 lug pattern (something like 8 on 175mm or something), very close, yet different.

Ford changed their pattern for the '99 model year, so you would be able to use 98 and older wheels.
