With these wheels were you able to use the factory lug nuts or did they recommend another style? Also about how much was a set of non squatch flares? I'm seriously considering this route, thanks.

We used OEM lug nuts.

After some research and having our hands on these the OEM seat had no issue with these wheels.

Sadly we only have 3 of these wheels in stock currently with 5 more coming next week per the update I got today!

@Bellebracht Thank you again for trusting us with your FE! We love seeing more of these coming in for modifications and customers allowing us to make their dreams come to life

Hey guys! I just had panda motorworks install a set of 16” fifteen52 wheels and 35” Mickey Thompson MTR’s as well as swapped sas flares for non sas flares. I actually bought these wheels a year ago for my FJ40 but I never installed them. We weren’t 100% sure if the 16” version would fit, but they work great, no rubbing anywhere. Sorry for the low quality pics, I only had my iPhone with me this morning. I’m picking up the matching spare next week.

I think the Analogs are among the coolest looking wheels I've seen on these, yet.

I want some mad scientist to put a set of white Analogs on an Oxford White 2-door. There's a 90% chance it will look goofy as hell, but I just need to see it.

ETA: 16" wheels look incredible. I'm a 'smallest wheel that will physically clear the caliper' person, and this is ideally what I want to do with mine.

Same diameter, they look larger though because the wheels are 16” instead of the stock 17. I was hoping it would make them look a bit beefier
Was there any concern by the tire shop that you were putting the MT 35" tires on a rim that was only 7.5" wide. I looked up the Nitto tires and their chart for 315 75 R16 has a recommended minimum rim width of 8".

I really like the look on your Bronco. It got me to looking up the wheels and tires hence the question.

What a beast! Squatchkilla!

I also have a VB 2 door, but as I am an OCD cheapskate, it is base/auto. Put 265/70s on the stock steelies. Better than the BS Dueler Has that were stock. Will be adding a takeoff Bilstein setup from a Badlands, whenever they get taken off (February). This is good though, gives something new to wait for while my BTSD fades. Just picked mine up on 10/28.

Yours be lookin' totally wicked, like the stripe action. I am waiting for the Visco retro decals.

Hey if you have a sec, I’d love to see how those slightly larger tires look—thinking about doing something similar to the bone stock base I have coming in January (which I ordered bc my dream build Black Diamond order is held up in Mod top hell).

Looks great. Only thing I would suggest is getting a matching spare so the you have a more cohesive look.

That is a super easy wheel to paint yourself.

16" rims are the sweet spot for offroading. Plenty big for properly sized calipers, but allow for more sidewall on the tires.

Great setup @Bellebracht
Agreed
