If you like the stock wheels can you put a bigger tire on them? Can you put 33's on the stock Big Ben wheels thst come with 32's?

Yes, as long as you have the clearance, tire specs give recommended wheel widths along with height and width of the tire. Now how much room you have under a BB I don't know, I'm sure there will be all kind of aftermarket suspension choices within a few months after the first Bronco hits the streets.

Diameter yes but I'm not sure about tire width using the stock rim.

Thanks. I'm not going Sasquatch so when time to replace the tires is like to go a little bigger if possible. .

Yes you can absolutely add larger tires, the rim width will allow for it. The issue you'll most likely have if you go over 33's is related to the suspension and rubbing you'll have on parts of possibly the suspension, bumper, fenders. Given that the 35" tire pkg comes with a higher suspension, IMHO that means Ford knows that 35's on a lower suspension has a chance to rub.

If you go to the manufacturer website of the tire you’re looking at, they always list approved wheel width for all of their tire sizes.
For example, most manufacturers list a 12.50” or 315mm width tire as an approved wheel size of 8” to 12” wide.

I'm assuming the BBs are 7.5? Would that limit the upgrade to 275s?

275s should be just fine with 7.5” wheel. Just check with the tire manufacturer for the approved wheel size.

If it helps any, here are all the tires available on each trim.

I think the overland concept Bronco makes it obvious that 35s will probably rub without a suspension change

yes and no. depends on the width of the tire you want to run. tire hight is not is not limited by wheel size tire width is.

So technically speaking, 275/70/17 could fit on the BB (standard 255/75/17)? The rims would work with the new ones. Is there a way to know if there will be any issues prior such as rubbing? Would 265s be better?
