Thank you guys, finally after 2 week of phone call, founds someone who are willing to upgrade my tire, called lot of place, they won’t install the tire if is not purchased from them, or if is not manufactured tire size, been a headache.
But anyway got my tire, wheel next any good recommendations? And Psi I’m running on 43-44. is good so far

Suggestions??
Well too late for this one, but...

Buy the wheels first.

That way you could get 17" wheels and had a MASSIVE selection of tires to choose from.
Now you are dealing with very limited choices of both tires and wheels.

At a minimum, you should get wider wheels to fit the tires better and will also get fewer complaints from the tire shops about installing them.

Yeah i should have thought about that, but I just don’t want to lift the car up, that’s why I was thinking to stay on the 16 rim

Looks great! But 43-44 psi seems high IMO?

You already have a 33" tire "lifting your Bronco up".

285/70-17 = 33" tire (approx)
285/75-16 = 33" tire (approx)


If you bought a 17" wheel and 285/70-17 tires, you'd be EXACTLY where you are now, with a 33" tire ... but you'd have about 10 times the amount of wheels to choose from and soo many different tires of all sorts of load capacities and tread designs ....

But since you're stuck with the 16"s .....

Are those signature tail lights? Was it a pain getting them installed on a base?

What PSI should it be run on?
I run mid 30s or so, but that's on my stock grabbers. I just know they were at 41 from the factory and it rode horribly.

If the Bronco rides OK on the 33s and steelies... just paint them white and go for the Heritage look, or as a previous post said "paint them red".

I myself just bought a set of OBX tires/rims for my 2Dr Base. Rides quite nicely... and I'm good with the 32s. Still thinking of painting the steelies white though... just for the look... as standard steelies/tires don't sell (so far anyway).

Rattle-can red specifically. ANd with the leftover he could do the exhaust tips as well.
