Are you able to change the tire size in the trucks computer so the speedo is accurate?

Yes, with FORSCAN, but it's a slight bit of a pain in the ass to get set sometimes.

These are my off-road tires, so no TPMS sensors, no need. However, hopefully I will be use Forscan to disable TPMS warning on the dash when off-roading.

And I disabled TPMS. FORSCAN did a great job with disabling the TPMS, the tire size was more challenging, as sometimes the reset takes a few attempts (you have to do a relearn procedure to clear the codes).

As you can see the Satin Charcoal and Carbonized Gray look perfect together!

Picked up a set in satin black during black Friday sale. $927 for 5, 17x9, +0 offset to my door.

Nice deal!

This is zero offset 285s for comparison.

What size tire are you running ?

Can you post the link to where you got your tuner style lug nuts? Trying to find specs on the RTR website as to what they recommend but, it doesn't really say.

285/70r17

This has been my favorite setup I’ve seen. Looks great on Race Red.
Now that my Bronco is close to being on the way, I’m looking for how this setup has worked out for you? I’m guessing no issues?
It also appears that the RTR wheel in black is not available at this time, bummer.

I've got 4,000 miles on the Bronco (don't use it much in the winter). So far no issues and I still get excited every time I look at the Bronco. Very happy with everything overall.

Said goodbye to the Steelies today in favor of the RTR tech 6 wheels. I plan on keeping the Steelies for the winter. I wrapped them with 285/70/17s (33s)no concerns with rubbing.

the +30 offset on the RTR wheels gives a slightly more aggressive stance. Very happy with the look.

Cost:
Tires: $1350 on tire rack
Wheels: $1100
Mount, balance, new TPMS stems: $600
So all in $3k

Looks sick! Going with the same set up for my cactus grey OBX. What size lug nuts are required for the Tech 6 wheels? Thanks!

The RTR website says 'tuner style' lugs. I called RTR and was told 14 x 1.5 lugs which I then bought from CJ's Pony parts. When I got them, they didn't fit.

I called RTR and they said it's 12 x 1.5, they also gave me a $100 credit which was unexpected and appreciated. CJ's took back the wrong lugs.

And my mechanic ended up using the lugs that came on the Bronco - he said they seated fine in the wheel and even though they're silver / wheels are black, they sit down inside so you don't see them.

So long story short, you can probably use what is on the OBX but if you want to I would buy 12 x 1.5 which is the correct size. They cost like $75 from CJs. Send me a pic when on, Cactus Gray was our second choice.

Honestly these wheels look almost identical to the OBX ones when painted/powder coated black.

edit: to be clear, I think they look great. I’m just saying you could Powdercoat and get almost identical appearance for cheaper.
