Looking for recommendations on upsizing tires

[Hobbes]

Hi, I have a 4-door Badlands 2.3 manual with stock 33 inch tires. I like my tires - BUT....
I have an unhealthy amount of envy every time I see Sasquatch tires or other 35+ inch tires.
Is it feasible to order Ford OEM Sasquatch wheels and tires? I assume there is a huge wait / backlog or maybe not even offered? Are non-Ford after-market wheels / tires are a better option? Which combo?

I know there are hundreds of threads on the forum about wheels/tires. Honestly it is overwhelming. So I am hoping for some advice for my specific situation / trim level.

People sell their stock SAS wheels and tires quite often. Check the 6G classifieds and local Craigslist.

You can mount the stock SAS wheels and tires on your badlands. Just unbolt the crash bars.

I'd bet the OEM wheels, new , would be very, VERY pricey. The steel Black Diamond wheels were $400/ea last I checked.

Is there a certain reason you want the Sasquatch wheels?
Any interest in aftermarket wheels?

I think your rig should have the 4.70 gear set, so 35's will be fine.
Same set up as the ManSquatch.
You'll have a bit of speedometer error though.

What about just installing 35's on the wheels you already have?

Just buy take offs. Remove the crash bars. Lot better tires out there though if you're looking to replace what you currently have.

Hello fellow Hoosier!
I do like the look of the Sasquatch wheels but open to aftermarket wheels too.
My current wheels are OK, but nothing to get excited about. If I upsize the tires, I think it will look better to get wheels too.

huh?
315/70/17 on 17x8.5 0 offset wheels on stock 2dr Big Bend. Removed crash bars. No lift. No spacers / level. No rub or scrub even under flex.

You might be right! LOL

I like the standard Badlands wheels best out of all the factory options, so at least you have a decent wheel to start with if you want to save some $$$.

I think my set up ran $3600 all in.
(I bought new TPMS's just in case I decide to do something with the factory steelies)

It's what he thinks looks best, not what needs to happen to make stuff fit.

That looks really great.
What exactly is your set-up?

I am wanting to hold off on upgrading wheels and tires until my stock tires are done...if a deal happens on rims I might do a rim swap sooner.

Been eye F@%& method trail lock and icon pros. For me the 8.5 at min is what I want and the sas wheels are that. Icon on here said 0 offset for 37 tires and +25 or more for 35. Think I will go 0 just so I can run 37 if I want too.

As it says, no lift, +35 Methods, 17 x 8.5 .... 35 x 11.5 .... Load Range C

2dr BB, no lift. Removed crash bars. 17x8.5 0 offset and 315/70/17. No rub, even under flex.

I did add SAS flares. The poke with base flares wasn't bad at all - I live on a gravel / dirt drive and didn't care to see mud splattered on the side of the Bronco constantly. If I want it muddy, I'll get it MUDDY.

Do you have photos of what it looked like without the squatch fenders? They're super expensive here so I won't have the fenders for a bit. The 315s or ideally 35s will be going on my BigBend
