OK...I get what you are saying. So if I went with my "plan"...basically the tire will be a little more outward by 2 inches per side. If I also then put on the Squatch fender flares....I would be legal on tread coverage. Do you see any mechanical issue in doing this? It would be easier if others made 55 Offset wheels....very few that I and others have found.
Thanks for your math and the links!!!!
I see that the stock wheels on the Bronco are 55 offset. I have a base Bronco on order and want to put on 33” tires with the Fuel d557 wheel with a 6 offset. It should push the tires out about 2”. Does anyone think this would work ok?
I guess I am too confused at the moment. This calculator using my data/choices....shows 1.38" further outAre those back-space numbers accurate and confirmed or a guess? If you change the off set and wheel size...does backspace still apply ? (I ask because the wheel calculator I used above did not utilize the backspace figure at all).
I appreciate your opinions and data. Thanks!!!I'm not certain you ever posted which tire and size you are going to use.Nevermind , I see it now.
My gut feeling is 33's will not be an issue on Base, BB, BD or OBX.
BUT, nobody knows yet for certain.
I really want to know if I can squeeze 33.8" in there without a lift. I know that's a stretch. 285/75-17
ElMystico and I are both looking at Wheels ranging between +30 and +55 offset.
I think I have entertained a few +20 wheels also.
I also look at around 5.75" to 6.5" backspace
I tend to limit my searches to no wider than 8.5" wheels. I don't like the wheel edges too close to the outside of the sidewall, would rather they are sucked in a bit for more protection.
I guess I am too

Those are cool, I like those. I just ordered some black rhinos for my gladiator, hopefully your bronco comes soon.I have these wheels and tires waiting for my Bronco. Who knows when it will ever be built......
Thanks. The BR's have some very nice wheels too.Those are cool, I like those. I just ordered some black rhinos for my gladiator, hopefully your bronco comes soon.
