You were correct. I forgot it had MT3 Rims. This is Retro and it looks like you can buy direct for $982 for 5 but -12 offset. Here is the shipping options from my cart that someday I will submit!!

Please choose one of the shipping options below:
  1. UPS Ground - $67.07 Est. delivery 09/01/2021 - 09/05/2021 if ordered by 08/31/2021 7:50AM

Here's the other pic of that rig.

Personally I love the look of these wheels if you're going for a softer 1980's retro theme, just slap some round overhead lamps on it and hit the dunes! This works amazing with A51 when shot with this camera filter. In real life it might be a bit off due to the style of paint used, but oh well.

Definitely been drooling over that Area 51, especially the MT3's for a good while now. I have acquired some knowledge but would really appreciate any help in understanding how these would work. After one write up of tire poke causing water, rocks etc. from a modification I think I will avoid poke. To my knowledge there is no way around this unless MT3's are manufactured to fit the Bronco. Seems to me it would be a smart move "Mickey" :D
Pretty sure what you're asking is "Will they fit"?

And the answer to every "will they fit" wheel question is to go to https://www.willtheyfit.com/

I know, I know, who would have ever come up with that site name!?! it also gives you your speedo variance and a fairly accurate wire diagram of the size comparison of both setups on your car at once.

Right, I found that on this forum and pretty much all of my knowledge came from reading and even more so messing around with this "willtheyfit". What a great site. I guess that is how I know they will give the poke that I don't want. I do think many manufacturers will be making +55 and +30 offset wheels for the Bronco crowd. Especially since there is so much interest in the retro look for our Bronco's and just how fanatical this will be for the foreseeable future. Thanks for posting the site again. It will be useful to others and I'm going to bookmark it this time, lol.

Not sure your thoughts on AR vs MT, but
Ford Bronco Mickey Thompson Classic iii wheels? 1630367790368

But this has a +18 offset

There are a couple similar style wheels, looks wise, but they have the simulated bead-lock on them and don't have a polished/machined option, sadly.

Maybe Mickey Thompson will offer different offets in the future, only time will tell. I just wish the other two offered a polished/machined option.

I love these wheels and have been back and forth on going retro with KO2 RWL and doing bronze or matte gray KMS/XD. It would be easier if I saw my AMB Bronco with each mock up!

Absolutely no comparison. The new stuff is crap.

I like them and thanks for sharing. I would say they are #2 on my list but I just won't compromise. Love the MT's. I think the would look perfect on AMB 2 door. Not sure what the plan is now that AMB is not a choice for 22. I think we might be surprised about being able to get 21 colors for a while on 22. Just in denial probably.

Kind of how I feel, but sometimes have a problem with being a 70s kid and being cool as a OG!;)

This is a great wheel/tire combination, and IMO one that I prefer much more than all of the black wheels that are so commonly seen today.

I emailed MT customer service last night and got a response this am about 17 inch with 0 offset (they have 16 with 0);

"At this time there are no plans for that, but I will pass it up the line to production to let them know you’re looking for it!"

This wheel could easily be in my future, if I don't go beadlocks. This is the look I want, I don't do black wheels.

So I figured out the poke differential and it is about 1.18 inches. If I love the MT and like my body color fender of OB, is it tooooo much poke?

Is that using the 0 offset 16x8 or the -12 offset 17x9?
