Smallest wheels ?
Hey y'all, I have a 2006 F150, and I was wondering what is the smallest wheel I can fit on it?
I want 15" rims, but somebody told me 17" is the smallest I can go.. Is that true?

Yup, 17's are the lowest you can go. I have 17's and part of the brake almost hits the the rims. i have less than 1/4 off an inch of clearance from the rims and the brake piece.

That would be a mistake all the way around, even if it were doable.
The mil. HMMWV tires are heavy as hell, which increases rotating mass, which means you would need to increase braking force.
Most people are trying to upgrade brakes on these animals, not make them smaller, they have enough difficulty stopping the truck at the factory diameter of rotor.
