5 x 7 / 6 x 8 - same thing?!?!

Hi, Ive just bought a '05 ranger super cab and im about to sort out the stereo. the front and rear apertures are stated as being 6 x 8 but apparantly 5 x 7 will fit with no mods and 6 x 9 will fit but with mods. i dont want to make any mods.....
but how can this be? surely 5 x 7 are an inch smaller at each mounting point than 6 x 8? or is this not the case. i.d rather get 5 x 7 as there is much more choice.
any help?

either will work. your best option is to make a baffle out of MDF and use a round driver. i have a ford focus and did this.

5x7 is Chrysler
6x8 is Ford

A 5x7 has extended clips to fit in a 6x8 opening. A true 6x8 will not fit in a 5x7 opening.
