Backspacing

I am going to be purchasing a 2004 Ford F150 4x4 Flareside with a 5.4L V8. I am going to put a rancho 4in suspension lift on it also to be able to clear 35's. The thing is that I want to put 15x10 rims on my truck. I know that the 04's have a larger brake system that are made to accomodate 17x8 rims. So the question is how much backspacing is needed to be able to properly mount and use 15x10 wheels? Also if there are any recommendations of rims that are of that size and backspacing?

they wont fit period, the absolutely smallest wheel you can fit on 04+ is a 17" wheel

Right. That is why no one makes a 15 or 16 inch wheel in the 6x135mm bolt pattern.

Thanks for your help guys. That is what I figured, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks
