35s on optional Badlands rims?

[ARock0ne]

Hey folks.

I'm expecting my Badlands in a week or two and stoked as hell. I ordered the optional rims instead of stock and, honestly, have wished I'd gone Sas since I got my VIN.

While I love the look of the rims, I would like to add 35s instead of 33s. I am fairly good with the lift I want, so all good there.

I am learning, but still don't know sh!t about however, what size tires work with what rims.

My question to the group is: what 35s will fit on the 17 x 8 rims? Do I need to upgrade to 17 x 8.5 like the Sas to run 35s safely, or go completely after market? If possible, I'd like to keep the stock rims I'm paying $995 for!

Thanks!

How about using 25mm wheel spacers?

ive learned its the "offset" on the rims youll need or spacers as mentioned, the wider tires will rub on the inside

You won’t have any issues. This is a friend‘s Badlands that he just put 35’s on with no lift and crash bars are still installed.

It depends on the tire width. I’m tempted to try these. They are technically 34” tires (so just over a half inch smaller than Sasquatch) but are the same width as the stock Badlands tires.

@grayshadow Freaking cool. Can you please tell me what tires he used?

Local dealer put 35’s on their demo and added. 2” lift.

35 just describes the height of the tire (or the diameter). There are all kinds of sized tires that are 35". For instance, I am running 35x13.5/17s that require a minimum of 9.5" wide rims. The tire dimensions will dictate what the minimum rim width can be. All manufacturers publish this.

But the bigger question you have is offset. The Sas wheels are +30 offset. The stock badlands wheels are +55. Because the tires on the sas are bigger (both wider and taller), they are moving the wheels further out away from the running gear.

You need to read up a lot in the wheels and tire threads. All the answers are there.
here's a good starter https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/stock-wheel-sizes.8137/
here's another good one. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/wheel-offset-and-backspace-how-do-they-relate.9910/
This one has images of the stamps inside the stock wheels: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...es-offsets-bolt-pattern-center-bore-⚙️.11893/


If you post the exact tires you want to get (manufacturer, model and size), I'll reply with the minimum wheel width and offset required to probably have no rubbing.

Thanks bro. I'll study up.

I’m in the same boat as you, And was curious if you did any changes yet? Here is my BL:

Hey there... actually had mine for about two weeks and love the look and handling as is. I also really like having crash bars for peace of mind. I may move up to 35s* with a lift at some point, but for now loving life.

Totally get it!

those rims really are the best looking wheels in my opinion! I’m fine keeping mine as is for now, as well. Great looking rig!!

Did you ever make the swap to 35's? I plan on swapping the sasquatch wheels for a set of the Badlands optional wheels when the Goodyears wear out. I think I will try 35x11.5x17 tires.
