downsize on rims
'02 Lariat F150 came stock with 17 " rims. I'm wondering if a)is it possible to go down to 15 " on aftermarket wheels and tires b) would it adversly effect handling/braking assuming whatever tire I go with has same final diameter as the 265/17's it's running now.

I think they are hard to find tires for and expensive my dad had an 03 FX4 and he had very limited options. I really don't think 15s will fit though his caliper was about a 1/2 inch away from the wheel, mabey if you ran some steel wheel instead of aluminum and they were not as thick but most likely not.

If I go with something more expensive you're looking at $110 or more.

I thought that 15's were standard on the base model, but I've found a page with the '02 specs that says they were 16". Oh well guess I need to wait another couple of months to save those extra pennies.
