While I am not a fan of putting the 15s on the F150, if you could find a way to get stock or better braking performance, there may be some mechanical advantages to the smaller rims. The smaller diameter tire would change the effective gear ratio and based on 17s have 500lbs more towing capacity than 18s, the 15s would probably be able to tow more than the 17s.
Unfortunately, I keep picturing a F150 with air bags dancing at a lowrider convention...

I'm not talking about giving someone a hard time done in a humorous, or attempted humorous way. I'm talking about comments like the "door hitting you" crap.
2.) Negative responses are one thing, and constructive criticism is another. Just like the guy said, he's been on other sites where people gave him straight answers. While a couple people here did that for him, some just gave him unsolicited opinions.
I wouldn't worry about it now. He's probably not coming back, and life goes on. It just gets old watching the newby's getting their butts handed to them just for asking questions. I thought the intent of this board was to help people, not badger them. General Discussion is for the badgering.

I definitely agree with you. Thats one of the main reasons I only check this board now and then. There sure are certain people that think because they have 1,000+ posts that they are king *****.

. If a person is going to take offense to someone's negative opinion, it's probably not a good idea to ask for it, especially on the internet.That being said, even though I don't have 1000 posts, I still think it's a pretty unintelligent idea.

and who would those people be?
I stand by my comment of "don't let the door hit you". When someone says "Im leaving for another board 'cause I dont like you guys" or "the other guys are cooler" or whatever, then fine. Go. And don't let the door hit you. You come on here and ask a public question, you take all answers.
I've said it before many times, if you only want certain answers (versus all) then say so in the thread title so we dont waste our time reading the post. Come right out and say "only people who agree with me are allowed to reply" or "only people who will kiss my a$$ are allowed to reply"
That does not make me king *****. That makes some posters cry babies for not liking all the responses they get.
