New (To Me) Replacement Rims for my F150

I have a question that I think only you guys can answer. I hate the wheels on my 97 F150. I'd like to just upgrade and have a line on some 2002 chromes off a navigator. Originally I was looking at some 17 x 7.5 stocks from a 2003 F150 4X4 and I was told that they would work even though Ford went from a 12mm lug to a 14mm lug. The reason they would work is because I was told the 2003 rims are hubcentric and not lugcentric, so as long as I used the old lug nuts or another 12mm lug nut, I'd be o.k. I can't find any information saying the 2002 navigator is a hubcentric wheel or lugcentric. They have the same bolt pattern (5 x 135mm), but it's the same issue as before...the 2002 Navigator had 14mm lugs and mine has the 12mm.
Will they work? I'm thinking they will work with just keeping my lug nuts.

Thanks much in advance!

Nick

Anyone out there with any knowledge on this? The Ebay auction ends tomorrow.

Thanks,

Nick

My dad picked up a set of tires and rims off a navigator for his 2000 expedition-he ran into the issue with the lug nuts and the center caps, I am pretty vague on it, but I think there was an issue with just the center caps.
