16" Wheel Question

just wondering if 16" wheels could fit on the truck based off the fact that ford doesnt offer a 16 inch wheel on new trucks. Is it just that they offer big wheels or are the brake rotors too big to fit 16" wheels?

I beleive they have bigger rotors for the '04 so a 16'' wheel will not fit.

Why do you want a 16" wheel on there?

If it is because of tire prices/availability for the 17" wheels I hear what you are saying. Priced out a set of 265/70R17 and just about fell over when I heard what they cost. I think I will take out a loan to get them!

bAER bRAKES ARE USUALLY LARGER....

and WTH would you want to put a smaller brake on there for...thats like smoking in a room with a gas leak....its just a matter of time before it hits the fan

smaller brakes = less stopping power
maybe not even enuff to stop the f150
