F-150 wheel and tire question

[TheFontMaster]

Will 15 inch rims fit on a 2000 F-150, and whats the biggest tire I can fit with a stock ride height?

[troyleepred719]

15's will fit, if they have the right lug pattern for the hub, otherwise, you will be ok, and a 33 inch tire is the biggest you can run on any full size truck, with minimum rubbing when you turn really sharp, 35s are do abble with 2 or more in of lift...

No, I believe 16" are as small as you can go Because Of the Brakes. If its a 4x4, you can crank up the Torsion bars and fit 33's, but it would be tight.

Heres my '01 SuperCrew 4x4 with 35" Nittos and 20" American Racing wheels...

I have a 6" Fabtech Lift

You will need AT LEAST a 3" Body lift to fit 35's Example...

i don't think 15's fit over the brake calipers.

you need to make sure you get the right size holes in the wheels too. the studs on those trucks come in three sizes. 12mm 14 mm and 16mm. it is imperitive that this matches up to what you buy!

And the bolt pattern is 5x135

Yea I know I need to get the bolt patern right, my friend has a set of 15 inch american racing rims he isn't using, and I wanted to ask cause I know the 2000 came with I think 16 or 17 inch rims stock, so I wasn't sure what would fit.
