Installed 33 inch tires on stock Base rims - no mods required

[Pernell R]

These are 285-75-16 tires (technically a diameter of 32.8 inches) , mounted to stock Base Bronco rims. No lift or spacers, and no rubbing in my testing. That increases the stock 10 inch tire width to a much beefier 11.2 inches.

See video linked here for full testing with shocks/springs compressed and extended:


I think 33 inch looks great on the 2 door, and for my light off-roading needs is a good option for getting a extra inch+ of ground clearance while saving $4000+ as compared to the Sasquatch option.

Let me know if any questions and I will do my best to answer them!

Look great

This... is where it's at.

Can't wait for someone to try this on the 4dr.

Good question! My only answer is, I don't know. However, if you are keeping stock rims as I did, I don't think it matters because 33" is the biggest size I could find that actually fits on the rims anyway.

Again everyone needs to go to Tireracks web site and look that tire up. Tap on specs and you’ll see what I said in a previous post in this thread. The tire requires a 7.5-9” rim. The Base 16” wheel is only 7” wide.

Looks like a real Bronco!

Those tires make those steelies look great.

op that looks great ,mine is somewhere in the dirt hill lot ,DHL

Holy shit my dude this is beautiful! 100% how the Base should have rolled out of the factory. White letter 33's on the silver steelies is wicked!

Should take some pics looking straight at the front and the rear to get a taste of the width difference.

Congrats OP, I think that is the best looking Bronco I've seen. Good video as well, much more info than I was expecting.

We have clearance, Clarence!

One could go 265/75/16. That would probably look just as good, and TireRack says you could go down to 7" for those.
