Looking for help. Sasquatch wheels and tires swap for Badlands wheel and tires.

[MOBroncoSTL]

I have a set of Badland wheels/tires that I prefer over my sasquatch wheels/tires. I am wondering what I need to consider putting the Badland wheels on my base sasquatch or if it is even wise to do so? I think the negative scrub radius will increase -19mm but not even sure what that means. Would all equal out if I put a 25mm spacer on my wheels to accout for the offset going from 30mm to 55mm? In this application does a wheel spacer seem to be a safe option? What else am I not accounting for?

If you re running the narrower BL tire with those wheels I d think you ll be fine. You ll just have the tire/wheel tucked way inside the SAS flare. Would keep more debris off your rockers and doors

If installing the stock BL wheels AND tires, no spacer would be needed. However, wheels would appear tucked due to the wider Squatch flares.

If installing the stock BL wheels WITH Squatch tires or other 35's, then yes a 1" spacer would mimic the offset of Squatch wheels and eliminate any potential rubbing.

Rim is 19 mm closer to suspension components. Make sure that you have enough room for that. If not, consider lower offset, narrower tires, or using spacers

Here is a comparison, so maybe I just need a 20mm spacer

Thank you for the responses. Much appreciated. I will be running 285/70r17 so hopefully you are right @BlueBronco. I would rather not run spacers if not needed. I actually can trade sasqatch fenders with regular fenders so the wheel won't be so tucked.

Why are you making the change?

 

[MOBroncoSTL]

I am thinking of making the change for a few reasons. I am selling my base bronco that I had put badland rims on. I am selling the base with the original tires and wheels. I have a sasquatch base that is taking it's place. I do not like the tires on the base sasquatch as much as the Firestone AT 2 tires I have on my Badlands especially since I use the highway daily. I also think it will be easier to sell the newer Sasquatch wheels and tires than the Badland wheels and tires and get better gas mileage as well. Or, I might keep the Sasquatch tires for future off roading. Hope that makes sense?
