Wheel diameter would be dictated by the brake package you chose, so 15" wheels would be possible, I think. Would have to check the spindle height, etc. I would not change anything to accommodate a 15" wheel, though. It either fits or doesn't! The more important aspect is the offset in relation to the width to have the correct scrub radius.

I would think with a front? steer rack and pinion, wide rims, and a decent scrub radius/KPI, anything smaller then 17" will not be doable. In my case, on this type of project, I would prefer better geometry over a 15" wheel look, which I am really fond of.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
