Wheels ????
i wanted to buy new wheels for my 97 f250 and i wanted to see if it is possible for me to buy 15 in wheels insted of 16in wheels becasue tires are cheaper for 15s? will the truck allow and are they even made with 8 lugs?

Pretty sure 15's won't fit over the caliper. Take a look at the clearance you have on the 16's now.....should be at least 5/8" for the 15" to fit.

Can you get load rated light truck tires for 15" wheels?

Are they steel rims or alcoas? IMO stock rims look good
