Has anyone already ordered wheels and tires? I'm I the only crazy one?

From my research, the wheels for the Rangers will fit with a 93.1 mm hub bore. You know how a lot of things are backordered and some of the wheels I'm looking at are low on stock. I've been waiting for almost 4 months for Bilstein shocks for my Expedition
My reservation date is 7/16 716 timestamp BASE manual
I'm looking at 16x8.5 +18 offset or 17x8.5 +18mm offset with 285/75 (33"x12") or 35/12.5 tires.
Thanks
Jim

If I get any sort of aftermarket wheel, it will be a one-off set through BC Forged. I won't order anything until I know 100% what my build plan is and the exact dimensions/measurements will need to be.

I will not be ordering tires/wheels for a vehicle I dont have and wont know when I will. I have a 7/14 res.
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm likely to keep the same tires and switch to a new 17" wheel. It's just hard to pull the trigger until I have the bronco in a shop and know the offsets and where it's going to rub. I want to get a bit more aggressive offset for future wider wheels.

I know I can't believe I'm about order wheels for vehicle that is not even built yet. Since, I'm getting the base I want new wheels/tires to go on right away. I feel safe with the 285/75 and +18mm offset, if I do order them.

I would like to order wheels now, but I need to know there won't be any rubbing with my new wheels and tire size. So until either someone tries it first and I see how it looks, I won't be able to order.
The only way around this is if Ford or aftermarket can tell us positively - this wheel is for the Bronco and will fit this size tire on a xxxx model without SASQ.

Haven't ordered them yet, but will pull the trigger as soon as I get notice my Bronco is on the way.

Going to run the 35" Patagonia Mts :

For wheels it'll either be the Method beadlocks or Raceline beadlocks.

I saw some prototypes of the planned Venomrex beadlocks, but don't know if or when those would be available. Their rotary forging process is pretty cool, producing a strong, light wheel that isn't too bad price wise.

Right on Tech Tim. I'm looking at the same tires but in 33". Great reviews and price.

I’m about to, but only if I can verify some things first. My current 3rd Gen 4Runner uses the 6x139.7 lug pattern. So if I can get something that fits it, and move it over to the Bronco when it comes, I will. Otherwise, I’ll wait to make sure everything fits.

I bought wheels for my ranger, if they happen to fit the Bronco... Which I'm 99 percent sure they will then I'll have wheels on the same day I take her home. Lol. Then I'll just have to order one more wheel and tire for the spare. 🙃

I want to get 33" for my Big Bend, but will they fit on the stock 17" wheels?

Yes.
I've had a set of 5 of the Fifteen52's in the shop storage for a few months now.
Black Friday special, I couldn't resist it.
When I get the new ride, immediately going with 35" KM3's and selling the stock BL stuff.

Ahhh, I already looked well into this before placing my order and deciding on Sasquatch or not on my base Bronco. I read and read the forum here to determine the bore size, offsets, etc. of wheels and looked at what offerings there are out there for Ford Ranger- which seems to match up- bore size and bolt pattern. I found a couple of wheels close to the Bronco's specified offsets that were for the Ford Ranger on Tire Rack. None that had the exact matching offset of the Bronco though.

Figuring that many others would be doing the same thing, looking for wheels, lift kits, shocks, etc. Manufacturer's of wheels, etc. would at some point start making supply for the Bronco although who knows when and what quantities. It would be crazy, limited supply, high prices and lots of people looking and buying. I suspect many back, order situations. So, to me, I quickly aborted and got the build from Ford the way I wanted it- with the small lift, 35" tires and Bilstein shocks- Sasquatch all the way. No worries about getting aftermarket parts and stress waiting. Waiting long enough for the Bronco as it is, so why wait anymore for parts to get it the way I really want it.

Since I will be driving my BD edition all year round, my first set will be some steelies from a Ranger with General Alti-MAX Arctics or Firestone Winterforce II's on it.
