Won't clear the brakes. 17s are as small as u can go. Doubt they make 16.5 in the correct bolt pattern.

Nooooo stock f150's come with 16's. They will clear, 15's won't clear without some grinding.

Nope 17s are the smallest you can go, I have 17s.
Here are some picture of how close the front brake caliper is and some bolt to the rim.

This thread is posted in the 04-08 section so u would assume the truck being referenced is an 04 to 08 which 17 is the smallest that will fit. 97-03, 16 is smallest. 95 and prior is generally 15s.
