First purchase for the new AMB 2 door: Ranger Raptor wheels

[johnbasler]

First purchase made for the Bronco. These Ranger Raptor wheels will be going on my 2 dr AMB Base manual with a set of 33s. Super pumped - my build is still scheduled for 7/5 so wanted the wheel/tire package ready for Bronco arrival.

They look really nice.

What size are they and what is the offset?

Also, can you weigh one before you mount tires?

They are 17x8.5. +55 offset like the stock wheels. I can throw them on the scale - I think they said 30lbs. I like the factory wheels for strength and corrosion resistance, and I like the style of these over any of the stock options.

I’d run these if I could find some cheap takeoffs, but kind of pricey otherwise w/ all the other choices out there. Nice though and good offset!

I honestly think these are not a bad price - $840 for 4 from Summit with TPMS sensors and tool. I bought a set of 5 new Rubicon take offs with 285/70/17s for $800 - then sold the wheels for $500. So I am into the whole wheel and tire package for $1100, and I can reuse my stock Bronco tires on my Suburban. So I am not sure how much cheaper you can do something similar.

cool pick up. Interested in seeing what they look like installed. I did not upgrade the rims on my Badlands order. I plan to either rock the stock rims (I like the badlands alum rims) or maybe pick something up in a 8.5 wide. Nice to know there is something if I really need that extra .5...otherwise I really dig the method trail lock or whatever inner bead setup they call it, but would like to run +33/SAS offset if possible.

You only got 4 rims? What will you do for the spare?

Be careful running your Bronco tires on the Suburban. The Bronco tire weight rating is likely too low.

I have a 5th tire for a spare already. I have not decided if I will run a steelie with a cover for the old-school look, or just pick up a 5th matching wheel. I figured I can make that decision later.

it looks like the weight rating actually might be fine - it is just a half-ton 2wd Burb, but will verify before doing so.

The Ford dealer was kind enough to mount these up for me. Hopefully the Bronco arrives soon . (Scheduled for 7/5 build as of now)

Congrats on the wheels... and the build date.

 

[Broncola]

Looking forward to seeing these on your bronco. Are you mounting them day one?

Yes - looking forward to getting them on day one. Unfortunately my Bronco that was built on 7/14 is still sitting on a lot at MAP. Good times...

I like these wheels and definitely look forward to seeing these on your truck. If I change my order to base I would look at doing them as well, but I’d probably stick with 265/70R17 tires because of the 2.3L manual.

As for load rating on the stock tires, the stock tires on my Tacoma (112) exceed the stock tires on my 2000 Expedition (108) , so it’s very possible the Bronco stock tires will have sufficient rating for the Suburban.
