Love it. 33's on the 2-door are perfect balance I think.

I am planning same build except in silver, even down to the matte black stripe.

Are the FE wheels the same offset as BB wheels?
These wheels are 17x8.5 + 30 vs. 17x7.5 + 55. There is a small amount of additional poke vs. Big Bend but not much. Just looks slightly more aggressive in my opinion and no additional modifications are required.

LOOKS GREAT! I'm picking up my Big Bend next week, and adding 33'' Baja Boss and 316 Method wheels with a 1'' level. Now you've got me even more excited!

Nice ride!!

Beauty rig. Quick question: fellow Bronco sold you FE wheels and tires. Did you have to source the 33s yourself, as FE comes with 35s? Am I mistaken?

Yes. I was prepared to purchase new 33’s but the dealer again hooked me up with yet another customer’s takeoffs - so I reallyhit the jackpot!

I'd say! Super nice. Damn near perfect, really. I look forward to maybe snagging the same stripes in flat white on my CG 2dr.

Happy to say that I’m officially a member of the Race Red and Two Door clubs. Picked up my non-SAS Big Bend from Two Rivers Ford in Nashville on Saturday. Shout out to Matthew, Jay, and Carl at the dealership, who made the purchase super easy and definitely worth the two hour drive.

They also connected me with fellow forum member @Greenbrick,
who graciously sold me his takeoff FE tires and wheels. Thank you, sir, for the great deal and vintage stripe inspiration!

I ended up deciding that 33’s were a better fit for my taste on the smaller two door wheelbase, here’s the final result. I’m very pleased with the outcome!

No lift or other modifications were required.

What size 33's are those, 285/70R17 or 275/70R17? No lift, nice to know!

I really love this vintage stripe. I'm on the lookout for one that is white AND orange, to match the (incredibly random) interior orange accents in the Badlands trim. A white and orange vintage stripe is the only way I can think of to tie the orange and race red together...
