Black Diamond with Steel Wheels, Who ordered/Is going to order

[Efthreeoh]

I don't know why I thought it was 8" thanks for the clarification!

Other Bronco 17" wheels are 8" width. It'd be nice if the steelies were 8" instead of 7.5", but 7.5" works just as well for 33's

For those of us planning to drive in winter, 7.5 actually isn't a bad thing.

Where's the "Keep them and mount snow tires" option?

I'd vote for that, and almost went that route.

I will! I have an 8274 bolted up front like yours.

I was seriously considering the steelies, until the wife gave me the look when I mentioned the aftermarket wheels/tires I was gonna throw on afterwards. Soooo Sasquatch it is! Take that wife!

I am pretty sure the BD Steel Wheels are 8" Wide like the Bandlands

My Badlands has 7.5 inch wheels. Anyone know the offset ? Can't find it anywhere. Looking to mount Snow Tires on real aftermarket Steel Rims. Hard to find specs for the Badlands.

Completed my order yesterday at dealer. Black Diamond ,7speed, Carbonized Gray, upgraded transfer case option, pod lights, tow hitch, and those great looking steel wheels. Love the look.
Down the road some after market wheels and other upgrades when they become available.

I am not a fan of these wheels. However I might go for the fifteen52 analog HD version maybe even in white.

The BD steelies are 17" x 7.5". The stock tire is a 32" 265/70-17. Most 33" tires fit on a 7.5" rim width. My H3T has factory 33" tires, 285/75-16 on a 16" x 7.5" wheel. So there should be no wheel issues when fitting 33" tires.

Putting the tires on the wheels isn't the issue, it's if that combo clears the UCAs. It should, but I've yet to see a good picture of the UCA clearance on the standard suspension to know.

When I do go to 285s, it will be 285/75/17, so before I do I want to ensure there is UCA clearance. Clearance everywhere else should be no problem.

I will have a set of 255/80/17s to put on it at the dealer before I drive it off the lot. I'll use those tires while contemplating my future plans as far as what changes to the suspension and wheels I want to do before going to the 285/75/17s. I'd love to throw on some Fox 2.5s on all four corners, just not sure how soon that will take place.

Yeah If the badlands has the same offset clearance as the lower models we should be good (since badlands has 33s but apparently only .4 inches higher) - but we don’t know this yet. I’m hoping to run 285s 70 17s on the base without mods. (Unless the FPP suspension lift from the accessories list is reasonable!)

I'm ordering a BD and I do not like the steelies. In a perfect world, Someone with an October Granger Bronco would swap the Big Bend grill and wheels with me. Or even someone along the route home to Upstate NY....

Anyone?

ANYONE??!!?!?!

Hmm, would that include a swap of the stock BD and BB tires too?
