I'd like to know the answer to this also.
Found this: "Ford has raised the bar with the extensive use of aluminum in the all new 2015 F150. Suspension remains similar to the earlier models and the bolt pattern remains the same. Ford did change the lug nut size to 14mmx1.5 for 2015."
https://www.ntwonline.com/2015-Ford-...Lift-Kits.html
Some other research shows that the last generation used 14mmx2.0, so it appears the wheels will fit, but the lug nuts won't (different thread pitch). Still need to figure out if the hub size is the same.
I hope to test this out when I get the truck in late March, would like to use Raptor wheels with some 285/70-17 Blizzak DM-V1 snow tires with an overall diameter of 32.8" vs stock tires at 32.1".

I'm not a fan of big wheels, they look great, but IMO ride worse than smaller wheels and tires are usually more expensive, plus larger wheels are more likely to get damaged by curbs, rocks, etc.
IMO, the Raptor has some nice 17" wheels that look better than other 17" F150 wheels. I'd rather go OE as the paint/finish is more durable than aftermarket wheels.
Another thing to figure out is if the 2014 and earlier TPMS will work on a 2015, and if any resetting tool is needed.
A buddy has a 2014, may have to go for a drive with his 14 wheels/tires/tmps on my 15 when it arrives and see if the TPMS works.

I bought a good used set of 2010 FX4 wheels with TMPS for winter tires. The TMPS work on 2015s. Didn't have to use a resetting tool. Bolt pattern is the same but different wheel nuts. I had to make some modifications to the wheel centers to fit the longer 2015 wheel nuts.

I bought some 2014 Raptor wheels and tires with less than 30 miles on them for $1,000 on craigslist. $500 cheaper than what it cost to buy just tires for my 2007. I was going to put them on my 2007 but it was killed a month ago (RIP). So now I have them sitting storage and will put them on my new truck when I get it (if they will fit).
