Not sure on clearance with a stock backspacing 15" Wheel, however I do know that mine with 4" BS barely clear the calipers, but they do. If the wheel tapers down toward the mounting surface it probably won't work over the caliper.

Idk if the hub is the same size. It may not fit over. From what I remember ford has a smaller hub.

I will have to look.. the only reason I would even consider a 15 inch wheel.. is the price of tires.. with my 16's..you have to add 100 bucks a tire... and 15's would look like more rubber and less wheel...
The wheels are still on my bronco.. with brand new tires..

Oh I love my wheels..even love keeping them nice andpolished... Just dont love spending 800+ bucks on tires....seems 16inchtires are way more then 15... only other thing that the 15's would kill is I would lose a lil ground clearence...
