have a buddy with some tires/rims off his old F150, and i'm wondering if these can be swapped to a second gen ram. stock tires on it are 16", but can i get away with the 15s? they are a 15x10" black steelie with 35s on them. i know bolt patterns work cause i've run dodge wheels on an old ford, just wondering if the clearance will be an issue.

thanks guys.

you shouldn't have any rim clearance issues, but those 35's will probably rub

should be good with the 6" lift
just want to make sure the calipers will clear the 15" rims

ahhhh, yes 6 inches should be good enough

A lot of people put 15's on these trucks cause they're better for big ol mud tires. I'm pretty sure you'll have no rim to caliper issues.

Dual piston calipers rub on 15s from my understanding. As mentioned, probably going to need to grind some off the caliper to make them work. 00 & older (IIRC) its not an issue.
Ive got 15" for the track for my Indy
