Hi all, I'm submitting my order for a 2022 build. The BB manual meets all my needs, except the wheel package is too small / skinny. While I could add Sas it would really only be for the wheels. 4A would be a nice to have. So I decided to skip.

Can I simply add larger all season tires to the stock rims? If so what is the largest tire size I can go on the stock rims?

If I can add larger tires then I'll probably go this route. It will help to beef up the look of the Bronco

I know you can do 33s but you're not getting bigger without lift.

My stock BB wheels were 17x7.5 with the bridgestone duellers 255/75/17, which I believe equated to about 32 inch tire. ( I guess I could walk outback and measure them)..

I have seen 285/75/17 (almost 34")on the stock BB wheels posted somewhere around here. I don't believe they had a lift, but possibly crash bars removed.. That's about as wide of a tire I witnessed..

For height, you can go as tall as you'd like as long as you have the clearance or make clearance..

I recently added 35/12.50/17 on a 17x8.5. definitely had to remove crash bars.

I hope this helps!

I put 285/75R17 Toyo Open Country R/Ts on my stock BB wheels while I waited for my Pro Comp wheels to come in. They worked great.

Looks great with the stock wheels. Personally I'd save some money and keep them.

And I'm not much of a decal guy but that looks pretty good.

I'm sorry if I missed it but did you need to lift your BB for the 285/75R17 on your stock BB rims?

I got the level kit and the tires at the same time. I’m not sure if there is a 4Wheel Parts near you but that’s who did mine. They would know.

Thanks. Just curious was it 1.5" on the front or maybe a 2" leveling kit?
