Anyone put larger tires on Big Bend Wheels?

[EvlNvrDys]

Thanks! I’ve had it since 2009, it’s due for a return to its former glory (dragged the pass side down a tree on a trail, parked it and robbed parts from it). Don’t worry, I’ve got all the parts rounded back up.

I hope that thing at least has the 351 under the hood.. I had a '93 with a 302 and it was a dog. Both my '84 & '94 had 351's, night and day in my opinion!

Hey @BAUS67 , you see this yet?

Don’t get me started……. This is a wheel thread on B6G lol.

351w, 15 over, Lightning GT40 heads, 1.6 roller rockers, custom Erson grind cam, ceramic coated shorties, full 3” stainless Bassani exhaust, kingpin D60 front, full float 10.25 rear, 4.10s, ZF5 wide ratio trans

There’s more, but enough about that haha

Yeah but this is a Bronco forum... And I've hear enough about how these little puny turbo engines are so great.... Nothing beats the V8 in my opinion.

That's why I pulled @BAUS67 in here, he can appreciate all that!

All you need now is a set of Cherry Bombs on there

BADASS !!!!!!!!!

Personally I think 285/75's would fit stock. ... CMA says may need a level kit for front.

Well I’ll gladly entertain with photos as I dig them up. I’m also surprised at the lack of familiar faces (usernames) from the FSB forum.

Yeah I gave my 94 to my middle son.... Who didn't really take care of it, so I sold it like 4+ years ago. And from what I heard from people around me, they wanted an FSB... not what Ford came back with. Whereas I'd love it to be an FSB... I'm happy with just getting another Bronco after so many years!

Here’s my current means of transportation, I do plan on making a bumper similar to the one I made for my PSD for the 2021 Bronco, of course my 7/21 build is buried in dirt mountain.

That’s a shame he didn’t take to the Bronco! It’s in our family blood, more like a disease that I enjoy living with

Your thread got a bit side tracked for a minute but here is a thread dedicated to wheel upgrades. Not sure how many are BB but don't see why that matters much.

For sure it did, I’ve been cruising that thread for a few minutes. Looks like a few BB wheels in there, definitely drums up a little more confidence

EDIT: The Big Bend part matters because that’s the model I’m getting, like I stated in the beginning of the post. I just trying see what everyone is working with so I can convince myself that the BB wheels aren’t THAT horrible.

Pics please!!!!

Still debating the 1” level I have scheduled in a few weeks.

The BB wheels aren't horrible, they're my favorite "non-beadlock" wheels.

That's perfect! Exactly what I'm looking for, I was leaning towards the Toyo OC ATIII, greatly appreciated!

I guess I could have chosen better wording, with the stock 32" Bridgestones, they just don't do it for me. WyoBronc nailed it with the 285s and allows me to appreciate the stock BB wheels.
