Maybe I'll put these on the 3/4 ton and get the Cs when they come out. Or make discount tire swap them. Or say screw the 8 lbs.

Method 316 17x8.5 0 offset - 25lbs

BFG KO3 37x12.50R17 F rated - 66 lbs

23 wildtrak (HOSS 3.0) with zone 2.25 lift and JKS max clearance kit.

This is how you make a wheel/tire post, people.
I can't believe how many people post their new setup without including the specs.

I have looked and don't see the actual tire size measured - always curious about says 37 but is 36.5 as an example. I have a smaller set of these K03s on a Tahoe and like them. Will most likely be my next set for the Bronco. White lettering is a nice touch.

It shows 'Overall Diam.' as 36.5" which would be the actual size. The KO2's run small and they claim the same size for the 37 but it's actually closer to 36" so I would imagine the KO3 will probably run small as well.

Looks great! I love the white on the outside. I recently put 39' KO3s on and you can't get the white lettering at that size. kind of lame, but I would surely tear the white off anyways scraping it on rocks, but still. Very nice looking Bronco!

The math doesn't seem right. Are you saying your new wheels/tires are lighter than OEM? The stock goodyears are very light (52 pounds). Your new tires are 74 pounds each. So your new rims are lighter than air? Or is there weight savings somewhere else?

No, he had Toyo tires on his WT which are quite a bit heavier than the Goodyears. He also changed wheels which saved 10 lbs per corner. I think he was off thinking the F rated KO3 were 66 lbs when they are 74, but he's still probably coming in lighter with the 37's and Method wheels vs the stock WT wheels and Toyo tires.

Awesome rig man!

I was running toyo rt trails in the Sasquatch stock size. They were 70 lbs. Factory rims were 35 lbs. Total of 105

New wheels are 25 lbs. New tires were 66 lbs (posted on discount tires site, which we now know is not accurate). Total of 91 lbs.

New data stating tires are 74 lbs, so new total is 99 lbs.

I may swap for the c rated when released, assuming the stated 66 lbs is accurate. But maybe not. I don't trust c rated tires.

Ah okay that makes sense! I am on a 21 Wildtrak and looking forward to KO3s in the C rating. But i will be keeping everything else stock.

I'm a big fan of trying to keep keep wheel and tire combo as close to stock as possible. I think my Venom Rex Wheels with BFG C. Rated 37s are within a couple pounds factory

Looks so good with the RWL! I'd love to have that on my Bronco HE, but will wait until my tires wear out. So far at 2500 miles...

Might have opened a can of worms. Dropped running boards off at a buddy's shop to have them trimmed......and despite the hideous pinch weld it looks awesome. My kids need help getting in, wife will hate it, but it looks so good without the boards.

Yep. I grabbed some OEM rock sliders and am willing to buy stirrup steps but I don't need them and wife has figured it out for now. Also had a line on some RSE but not worth the $800 on a used set IMO

Yeah, it looks cleaner but trying to step up into a truck that high gets old real quick. And the shorter and older you are makes you appreciate the steps a lot more. I took the nerf bars off my lifted Silverado and didn't even make it to the end of the day before I put them back on. Whoever ordered my Bronco added the hoop steps and the rails hide the pinch weld which is nice but with the 37's and lift, the steps are a must. And since they bolt on, if you go trail riding you can remove them temporarily.
