Found an easy solution to keep using the OEM wheels until a later time when there are more options. These are used on the F150 Raptors and fit perfect. Moving the wheel out 1.5 from stock should alleviate any future issues with damaging the flares as they are completely flush from the factory. I will be putting Nitto Ridge Grappler 38s on it so collars will be next.

That amount of poke looks good and should also be functional without spewing too many pebbles rearward. Can you get full travel and lock and no contact/rub with this setup?

1" - 1.5" poke beyond the flares is perfect on any Bronco. Looks good.

Oh, and in before the ZOMG! spacer lectures.

no issues. Also when I put the collars on for the 38s that should also not have any issues going from the KO2 36.5 tire to true 38. Also you are correct, given its the outer lug area of the tire, not going to pitch anything on the paint which I dont concerns with as its PPFd.

I would say that comes from non hub centric type spacers which is a big no no, these are solid and proven plus now I get to keep a stock wheel set even if I change out the tire and go get some beadlock versions for the park and some MTs, save a good chunk of money.

Looks really good. Confirmed that is exactly what I am looking for. This is correct size right 6x135 M14x1.5 1.5" wheel spacer?

I agree and have run spacers on my JKU and currently run 1" on my wifes BL. There are no issues if you run the correct type and maintain them properly. But there is always a segment on every forum that feels the need to lecture people regarding spacers when they have zero experience with them.

So, just to clarify, you've actually tested full travel front and rear and full travel+lock front with your setup? Thanks.
