I personally wouldn't go over a 33" tire without a lift.

Good video for 4 door. I would think very similar to 2 door.

The problem begins with the width (7.5” if I remember correctly) of the stock 18” wheels. It really limits your choices. I swapped mine for a set of stock badlands wheels/tires no rubbing off road, no lift and you can usually find them for about the same price as just buying tires for your rims.

275/70R18 is probably the biggest size you'll get.... which is a ~33" tire.

The limiting factor is the width of the wheel.
285/70-18 is fine, 33.7”…😉

New to the forum but thought I would throw in my 2 cents since I received so much conflicting information on this topic. I have a 2022 2 door Bronco Big Bend. No sas pkg, not lifted. You can easily fit 315/70r17’s on it (ko2’s) using stock rims. With 1.5 inch spacers, no rubbing lock to lock. Maybe an inch or inch and a half poke, which I think looks cool. For the spare, if you want it to sit flush on the tailgate, you must either trim the bump stops or just pull them off, which is what I did. Tire fits snug but will fit fine under the third tail light without having to buy the extension. On the highway, car seems to be handling the same as it did using stock tires. Road noise is very slightly increased over stock but surprisingly not bad at all.

The absolute best looking 6G Bronco I have ever seen IRL was on stock OBX wheels. It was parked in front of a feed & grain store in Miles City MT. The Bronco was plastered with mud from hard work on a nearby ranch, had several dents annd scratches , and it had big chunky MT tires on stock OBX rims.

Sorry, no idea what size or brand tires. But I’m posting this to say that stock OBX wheels can look badass with the correct tires.

That Bronco was never going to show up at Cars & Coffee, it probably will never go through a car wash. It was a hard working tool on a remote ranch. And that made it totally badass.
