Base Model Owners: Official Thread

[kahunabob]

Stupid question but does anyone know the diameter of the base steering wheel? Trying to order a cover for it and mine is still in purgatory awaiting production date.

15 Inch. I picked this up from amazon. I installed it backwards on purpose for a cleaner look. I paid $15...looks like the price dropped. Very happy with this purchase...

Officially I can change the official name of the official thread! If it’s officially cheesy!

I love my base Sasquatch! Picked it up last October, taken it on road trips, camping and other small adventures. I would highly recommend the Aux switches and the JBL speaker. I posted something the JBL earlier this week.

That’s a great idea on the Nissan wheels. Can you provide the backspacing on those? Might copy you.

base steel wheel specs
16x7 +55mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 93.1mm center bore

nissan spare wheel specs
16x7 +40mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 100.3mm center bore

I'll need to order 100.3mm -> 93.1mm hub centric rings, otherwise everything should be good to go. Pic shows stock wheel/tire on the left, nissan wheel/235 tire on the right

profile of the 235/85R16 tire (on a diff vehicle)

and the reason the wagon wheel tugs on my heart strings... my first truck

Yes I understand, that should work out well.

You sure the Bronco wheels are hub-centric?

Your 40mm offset (nissan) gives the car positive scrub, shouldn't you want to push that wheel out farther to get negative scrud?

The Nissan wheel will move the rim outward 15mm vs the stock Bronco wheel.

I played around with that link and it moved it inward. The image you sniped shows positive scrub.

I think you need to increase offset not reduce it, yes?

Your using 55 mm offset for the factory rim which shows zero scrub angle, that would be unusual because most vehicles come with negative scrub angle. Are you sure the factory rim has 55 mm offset?

Using all your values I needed to increase offset to 55 to get negative scrub.

Sharing is caring.
1. Stock the day I picked it up
2. Added 285/70/r17s on Sasquatch wheels.
3. Added tube steps

I'm assuming you're running a lift? If so, which one? That looks really good. I've kept my eye out for takeoffs but the few in my area that have popped up have wanted 4k+ for them.
