What other years of Ford Club Wagon have the same bolt pattern as the 1998?

What is the center bore of a 1998 Ford Club Wagon?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 1998 Ford Club Wagon is 87.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Why is matching the 87.1mm center bore important for the 1998 Club Wagon?
The 87.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.

Yes, but ensure the wheel spacers match the 5x139.7 bolt pattern and 87.1mm center bore. Also verify that you have enough thread engagement for your 1/2 hardware.
What does 0-15mmmm offset mean for the 1998 Club Wagon?
An offset of 0-15mmmm means the wheel's mounting surface is 0-15mmmm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Ford.
