I have the same wheels arriving this week from RTR. Our Bronco is scheduled to be built tomorrow but then needs to be shipped to Florida. I was planning on going to Discount Tire in Lakeland Florida for tires as soon as the Bronco arrives. I can supply it as a guinea pig to test the largest tire on a stock OBX wheel and also the largest on a 17x9 +30 wheel.
Awesome, looking forward to hearing how it works out. I really am hopeful to get a 33" to 34" inch tire in there for off-road use and I'm willing to remove the crash bars to get there. From what I have seen, I expect a 33" without changing anything is likely and 34" would be at the edge of what would be possible after removing the crash bars.
That was really helpful, and yes, it certainly looks like this will fly. They have 44mm (~1.73") more poke and will raise the the vehicle/reduce the available travel by 15mm (~0.60") when going to a 295/70R17 (on a 17x9 +30 wheel) from a 255/70R18 (on an 18x7.5 +55 wheel). The wheel moves 5.9mm (0.23") away overall from the suspension.
SUPER NICE with an awesome color!! now you need black lugs to finish the lookJust got these delivered, can not wait to get them mounted on my future Bronco!
They seem to be a great quality wheel and look great!
They are the 17x9+30 in satin charcoal.
Only trick is: will it clear the crash bars? Or will we need to add the kind that allow for extra clearance.
I am willing to sacrifice the crash bars, could possibly modify them to be more friendly to larger tires.
Aren't there way more 285/75r17 tires?
Yes, but I found something that I liked in 295/70R17 (I forget which tire it was - wrote it down at home).
Weight? I will only get these if they are no more than stock 17" non SAS.
Right on, I'll be going 35x11.5 as soon as the 35" Goodyears are worn out
