Everyone who has already bought wheels has yuge cajones in my book. I think they'll look great but how did you settle on the right offset?
I read that the overland concept had 0 offset wheels. After seeing it in OKC, made my decision based on that one.

I ordered 5 different of the exact same Traverse HD’s in 0 offset when Discount Tire had a special going on.
Knew I was going to get them put on right after I get it, so why not save 25% while ya can, right?

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?”

Got the same ones! Had mine for a couple weeks now. Going to look amazing.

I just ordered wheels to put on my BD, when it arrives. TireRack has a deal on some AlphaEquipt Delta wheels that I like better than anything from the factory. They're 17x8.5 with +35mm offset (Ranger wheels). I think they'll look great and more importantly will fit the Mickey Thompson 33x12.50 R 17 Baja Boss ATs I plan to put on a well.

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.

Not sure about BD wheels, but BL are +55 offset.

No you’re not nuts. Ordering wheels has also crossed my mind.

Interesting dual valve system. Didn’t know that was a thing. Description also says TPMS protection. Is that for an external sensor?
The TPMS sensor (valve stem mounted version) are at risk of damage when removing the tire from the wheel. Some wheels are designed to help protect the sensor from being ruined during tire removal saving the installers or owners TPMS replacement and programming costs. One of the ways they do that are by putting a second valve hole in the rim more in the center of the wheel. This keeps it away from the edge of the tire.

The stock BD wheels are 17x8 +55mm. The Deltas will push the wheels out about 3/4", which I'm confident will not be an issue with the stock LT265/70R17 tires. When I upsize to either LT285/70R17s or 33x12.50s, I'm already planning on a lift (at least to level it). With the 33x12.50s I may need wider flares to stay legal. If so, I'll buy some of the wider Squatch flares (the Squatch package wheels have a +30mm offset with tires equivalent to 35x12.50s). Worst case, some lucky Ranger owner will probably wind up with a killer deal on brand new wheels, and I'll have to hear about from my wife.

That's putting the cart before the horse. But it's your money, spend it your way. Great looking rims by the way.
