How big can I go with a Base Model?

[RR Bronco]

I've read so many conflicting posts, I just want to make sure what I'm looking at will fit on a base four door. I don't want to remove anything or add a lift at this time.
I'm looking at 17 x 8.5 wheel +35 offset with a 285/70/17 tire. I don't want any or very minimal poke. Will this work without rubbing? What's the biggest setup I could do?
Let's see some pictures and set ups of base models without any other changes other than wheels and tires.

Yes those 33” tires will work with no additional modifications needed, so long as you have the +35mm offset. I don’t have any pics but there are tons on “Page 1, Post 1” of this sub forum. You can also Google keywords “bronco 33” +35 offset” for additional info/photos.

This is definite:
285/75R16 will fit your stock steel wheels
285/70R17 will fit any stock 17" wheels at +55 with no poke
285/70R17 will fit without mods at +30 but will poke slightly (1/5" of tread)

From what I've seen others do:
285/75R17 will fit stock 17" wheels at +55 with no poke
35x10.5R17 will fit 17" +35mm wheels with no real poke, sidewall, not tread

That's what I thought, but one of the vendors from this site that I'm working with didn't think it would fit, so I wanted to be sure before I ordered.
Good luck with your reservation.

I ran 285/70/17s on my stock big bend rims for a minute. Zero rub, crash bars in place.

Then I went to 35s

Thanks! My ETA is 3/16!

After extensive research, I have decided to go with 285/70/17 KO2’s on +18mm wheels. This will give me the amount of poke that I am looking for. It will also allow me to stick with the stock suspension while leaving the crash bars in place without tire rub. I also worry about how well my 2.3L engine with 3.73 gearing would pull 35’s.

I had a tough time finding someone with an offset other than 0mm to +35 so here is a video that I found of a Base model with 33’s on 17” +18mm offset wheels:

I have same tire size on Sasquatch wheels - fits great. Wouldn’t go any larger due to gearing and transmission.

Great info! thanks

Great idea!!

also, don’t fear the squatch fender. I have 0 offset and 35s with only a little poke.
