5 on 135MM is a FORD bolt patter and 5 on 5.5 (139.7mm) is a Dodge bolt pattern - they are NOT interchangeable. Although you might get them on keep in mind that they will not "seat" properly. There is a slight flange that acts in much the same way a lock washer does and if the wheel is not seated to that flange - a major failure could result.

Buy the proper size wheel (5 on 5.5" - 139.7MM) for your application...

Okay do think it would work if I bought an adaptor to fit them to my truck or drill the holes to fit?

Confirm what the bolt pattern of the rims you are getting? 5x5 or 5x5.5?

I agree w/Hammer buy the correct bolt pattern for your truck. Trying to modify rims to fit, is asking for trouble.

First pic "WARNING" does not confirm what the actual rim bolt pattern is. The bolt is 5 but it can either be the 5x4.5 or 5x5.5. The latter is what our bolt pattern is.

Try before you buy imo.
