Right this second with the measurments and the math, yes a 285/70x17 SHOULD fit. But someone needs to try it and make sure.

Last little tweaks. More accurate pivot position and some curvature to the tire. I am seeing 5/8” clearance to back bar. Plus another 1/8” pick up if you factor in height of back bar and curvature to wheel. This is for a 275/70/r18. 285/70/r17 has another 1/8” additional clearance compared to the 18s.

I am repeating again: you will not find tire choice in this 275/70/18 size in C load range.

This is the same exact tire as the Badlands, just sized to a 275/70/r18...if E load is so bad, then you’re saying all badlands tires will not be well received?

Finding a 17 x 7.5" inch wheel with a 6x139.7 bolt pattern and a 55+ offset to accommodate a 285/70R17 would be nearly impossible. Just did a search and all i got were the steelies that come with the Black DIamond.

This is what I don't understand. That offset is virtually unheard of. I feel like something must be off or all of us are going to be hanging 2 or more inches of tire outside the fender.

Pro comp has quite a few wheels that will work for your needs.

I guess we could always shop ranger wheels, if you dont want to wait to get your hands on bronco wheels, or swap.

Although its an 8" wheel, not 7.5", so may be tight with a tire upgrade.

Well on Tirerack the only non E load range tire available in this size is https://generaltire.com/tires/light-trucksuv/grabber-apt

Which is not great.
If you go with the Badlands tire size (285/70/17) you have tons of choice in C load range and I would recommend Wildpeak AT3W, Toyo A/T III or BF KO2.
Unfortunately with the OBX, if you go 285/65/18 to have the same size then same issue as with your size, not much choice available.

For me, I would like to fit 285/75/17 which is 33.8” and in this size the excellent Toyo AT III is available in C load range. But I don‘t know if 33.8” tires (11.2 wide will fit well)

What about these

Do we know what width the Badland wheels are? Because the zero offset wheels I am looking at are 8 1/2 inches wide so I assume that would actually make a difference.

i thought I saw 8, maybe 8 1/2 wide.

8 inches. Offset is likely between 40-55

So on the Badlands I might be able to live with 0-offset 17x8.5s
