I think I remember reading here that a 15" wheel wont fit on the big trucks, I assume its a 250 since its 8 lug. I could be wrong but someone should come along soon and verify either way.

Some 15's will fit some of the drum brake F-250 axles and they will fit 3/4 ton chevy disc brakes if you grind a little more than an 1/8" off the perimeter of the caliper and caliper bracket.
