As far as the backspacing goes... have you checked what actually fits the Bronco? Just because I’m they are both 6x139.7 doesn’t mean anything. The Bronco wheels are probably pushed out farther toward the edge of the Fender flares, so maybe you need to buy 0.00 and not +35. Check on the backspace of someone that is listing Bronco wheels, to get the basic backspacing right.
Zero offset will stick the tires out further from the fender flares. It looks like the OP did his homework and made a good choice. The specs are out there on the stock Bronco wheels.

I preordered analog 1552's but cancelled them after i changed to sasquatch. I had them on order probably a month after we were able to put the Bronco on rez. I figure i can order wheels any time and it was better to order what i wanted and use any upgrade cost i commit to the build. Good luck on yours and your customization! We all cant wait to see it! Will probably make me reorder my wheels. lol

I must be nuts too. Just received these Monday. The interesting part for me was that my wife had no regard for the price, she simply asked ”why would you get wheels for something you don’t have yet”. “Because I got the 5th one free?”

I think those are the matte black 703s. They make a 17x8.5 in the right bolt pattern. 0 offset. 704s are very similar. The 310 Con 6 is the one Method is making with a more Squatch-like +35 offset.
They are the matte black 703. 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 backspace.

👍🏼 Love it! Those raceline wheels? Gonna swap my yota beadlocks to the bronco for wheeling trips.
Method MR304 Double Standard 15x10, and if they fit over the brakes, I'll be test fitting on the BL!

Cool! Here's my 1989:

1617897403522.png
My 1990, back in 2017 not long after I bought it from the family of the original owner when he passed away. Put brand new OEM Tundra wheels and tires on it after an OME lift. My kid used it in college in Eastern Washington for about 2yr/15k and now it is running sand and errands for me in New Mexico at nearly 160K. Great truck. Same bolt pattern as the Bronco :)

Awesome, and I see you also have the 3.slo
I should really re-gear mine for the 33s, but that's 1200+ taken away from future Bronco mods

Damn you guys make me miss my 89 4Runner! It was lifted with 32" MTs, 4.88 gears, ARB locker in the rear, TrueTrac LS in the front and the removable hard top!

I just realized that 20+ years later, I'm still using the ARB compressor for air in my XJ! That's pretty darn amazing--kudos to ARB for making a top quality product!

ARB gets dinged for their prices, and it's true they charge an amount that prices out lots of folks. But my experience is that their products are made to last. Suspension upgrades, awning, fridge, compressor all still going strong for me after 5+ years of heavy use.

I almost did the same thing - TireRack has Method 313's on sale from $333 each down to $195 that fit the Ranger/Bronco. Both Titanium and Black.
But I decided to just keep the Big Bend wheels and put some good 285/70 R17 tires on them instead.

Yup. I got a great deal on the tearoffs from a guy who had just bought a new Tundra and upgraded the wheels and tires right away. Craigslist special, $250 for 5.

I lifted my FJ and upgraded the stock 265s to 285s on 17x8.5 Methods right away. Love them, beat on them, and 5+ years later I am a big believer in the quality of Methods. After the lift, I debated re-gearing with the folks who installed it and we decided not to worry about it until I added some heavier equipment -- bumpers, bigger rack, etc. I never did do any of that and the cost of a winch, a winch-capable bumper and re-gearing is a big part of what held me back.
