Bronco Aftermarket Wheels | what options do you want?

[Beachin 74]

I would like to see aftermarket wheels with more positive offset closer to the factory specs so I am not temped to modify or remove the crash bars to fit a larger tire.

All the current Fifteen52 wheels for the Bronco:

Also, there may be an option for a group buy where we could save a significant amount of $ by ordering 40+ wheels at a time. Put me down for 5 of the Analog HD Classics in white!

your profile pic is awesome.

Method 106. My dream wheels, just not sure how street friendly they would be.

Beadlocks can be time consuming. Method does however, offer this style in a street version.

We all want to think we need the cool beadlocks but truth is the street version would be just fine. I recently did some wheeling in Moab, ran 20 psi on my F150, stock wheels, Rim Trail and Poison Spider Mesa with no tire issues and only minimal body damage.

Thanks for pointing those out!

Idk what wheel I want, but I know what it will look like.

1 piece forged, no bolts or rivet look, but most importantly - LIGHT WEIGHT...I can't fathom slapping some of these 40lb monsters of rotating mass onto each corner.

Wheeling Moab is always a blast! Glad to hear there was only minimal body damage.

I think you have it backwards. If you want a larger tire, going to a less positive offset would more likely allow you to clear the crash bars without removing them. The lower the number, the farther away the wheel is from the vehicle and crash bar.

Ive been looking at the Black Rhino Rotary Forged. A little stronger than cast, but not as expensive as fully forged. 27 lbs for 17x9s and about $200 each.

That is not half bad!

You are correct about " The lower the number, the farther away the wheel is from the vehicle" part.
When the wheel is farther from the vehicle, when you turn the steering wheel tight, the front wheels will swing in a wider arc contacting the crash bars sooner than a wheel with more positive offset.

Ah ha, you are correct.

Think of your wheel wells as bowl shaped. The lower offset pushes the wheels out far enough to locate the tire in a shallow part of the wheel well. Going straight they will be fine but when you turn the tires shoulders are pushed forward into the lower corner of the bumper and backward into the inner fender liner

Really boils down to the tire size as sometimes lower offset wheels are needed to free up room towards the suspension.

Looks like the Fifteen 52 Analogue wheels have already been called out for steelie look-alike options, so I’ll put up the KMC Roswell:
