Another wheel offset question...

[SlowPoke]

All bead locks are Street legal. They are just not DOT approved.

Fair point, although some would even go a step further and say that they are not "legal", but they are also technically not "illegal" either. But, to your point, I guess what I should have said was, "Can't argue with a DOT approved Beadlock" You know there are plenty of cops that love to harass people over this kind of thing even though 98% of them couldn't tell a real beadlock from a fake one anyway.

you have your +\- backwards.

0 offset is as far as I like. Sits pretty flush to sasquatch fenders.

OMG would you people stop mixing up the negative and positive offsets!!! I hope no one uses this thread for any reference. Two pages in and people STILL aren't getting it right, lol!

Read the Sticky's when in doubt - the info is right there are your disposal:

If a cop harasses you over a bead lock wheel ask them to show you there state dot law prohibiting them.

Btw, I’ve used bead locks on my Jeeps and trucks going on 20 years and have driven all over the country. Never once been bother by a cop or failed an inspection for having bead lock wheels.

Pretty much the same story for me, but I only got questioned once in 15 years. I told the cop they were fake beadlocks and he didn't ask anything else about them.

what lugs did you go with?

Does anyone have a lead on aftermarket wheels with +55 offset? Google search is failing me.
I think I want to replace the 18" wheels on my OBX (assuming I ever get it) with some 17" to get better tire selection. But I don't want the wheels moved out at all if I can help it.

I have just got my production date for my Bronco, and have started shopping parts, because, of course. Im looking at wheels at the moment, and really like the ICON Rebound or rebound pro. But the sizing says for my fit, (2022 Badlands sasquatch) that the only sizes they have 17 X 8.5 +25ET which I assume is the offset. From what I've gathered, a 0 (zero) offset is the correct offset when buying wheels for this package. Yet I have also seen some rigs on here with the ICON wheels. Some even saying they have them in a 0 offset even though Icon does not list those as being compatible. Whats the REAL scoop here?

Here’s another option for you! These are mine and I like the offset these wheels provided.

In regards to the Icon wheels, its my understanding that they are “faux” beadlock (just for looks). They also have InnerLock Tech ones that are DOT approved that are functional.

This is so strange! All the info I put showing you the wheels as an option isn’t showing up. That section of the thread is gone including a link. No worries, you’ve gotten great responses/info from others. Enjoy your Bronco! Ride On!

Icon Rebound Pro wheels are bead-locks and DOT approved. See video below
