Bigger tires on same factory wheels (Outer Banks non Sasquatch)?

[jon]

I have an OBX 2dr and put a set of Hercules Terra Trac T/G Max 285/65r18 on the stock wheels. According to their website these tires are 33.07x11.50 and fills up the wheel well.

I’ve posted about this before in some thread, but the absolute best looking 6G Bronco I have ever seen IRL was on stock OBX wheels. It was parked in front of a feed & seed ranch supply store in Miles City MT. Stock OBX wheels but beefy MT tires. The Bronco itself was muddy and had dings and scratches from working on a ranch. That Bronco was the real deal.

Did you lift yours at all?

Nope. Eventually I will be lifting it around 3-3.5" next summer, but for now I'm on the stock non-SAS suspension with zero issues and my ride quality on the TOYO Open Country A/T's is nearly identical to what is was with the factory tires.

Stock Sasquatch wheel width is 8.5". The Goodyear tire is 12.4" wide. If you can find 11.5 width 37's (295/85R17), they'll fit on the wheel fine.

For fitting the larger tires on a Sasquatch only lifted Bronco, you'll likely need the JKS Max Tire Clearance Kit at a minimum.

It really depends on the tire. I have a Badsquatch and am currently running 37x12.5x17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 on Method 703 0 offset wheels with the JKS max tire clearance kit. (no body lift or suspension lift at this point, Method wheels and JKS kit are my only modifications so far.) I went on a hard trail and found a few spots that I was rubbing on, with the inside lip of the fender flare being one of the spots. From what I can see 11.5 vs 12.5 would not make much of a difference but I've not run 37x11.5x17 so I can't give a 100% confidence response.

If you already bought the Mickey T's, then disregard. But you mentioned the look of "pizza cutters". The Baja Boss comes in 255/85r17 which is the same height as Sasquatch Goodyear tires.

I know your wanting to stick with the stock OBX wheels. But here is my regular OBX with sasquatch take offs with no lift. I think it looks so much better with the bigger tires.

it's so good to know that the Factory SAS Takeoffs fit on the Non-SAS OBX without a Lift. Removing crash bars obviously the only hurdle, but minimal for sure. did you get an alignment after upgrading the tires?

Taking delivery of mine in the upcoming weeks and this is Upgrade #1 for me

Nope didn't do anything except remove crash bars. From the factory the speedometer is off a little. Now the the new tires its dead on.
