Question 15 inch wheels..?

I seen something tonight that I've always been told was impossible...., a 97 or 98 f150 4x4 with 15x10 eagle wheels with 35x12.50x15 tires.. How can the 15" wheels be made to work. I have always been told that 15's would not clear the brake discs..

You are correct.

15's will not work. Only 16 or larger on our trucks.

Someone probably ground down the calipers and stuff to make them fit. This would be an unsafe thing to do!!! I didn't know that they even made 15" wheels with the 5x135mm bolt pattern for the 97-up trucks.
