1. Why are you yelling?
2. Tire fitment calculators such as "willitfit" won't help as you're raising the vehicle.
3. Have you searched through this wheel section that you're posting in? There's quite a bit of material available to you here that will guide you, plus pictures and accounts of issues others had

The first thing I thought, why is he yelling

I was in your position- had no idea to think about wheel/tire fitment and wanted to think through some options for installing something new. Search was my friend. Whatever you want to do, chances are someone has or will be doing it. Try searching using tire or wheel keywords corresponding with whatever you want to do (ie. "35," "37," "12.5," "+0 offset").

Generally, it sounds like a width of 285 will fit without having to think about changing offset, and 33" diameter will work without having to think about the crash bars and rubbing. Larger than those numbers and you have to figure it out.

I just assumed you fat fingered the caps lock.

3.73

You need to buy lowercase tires. Uppercase will for sure rub.

Always hard to know how to help somebody when all the specifics of the build are not provided.


Based on @POTSIE follow-up, looks like it's an auto, but with an unknown engine.

Hey, @POTSIE take a moment and update your original post to include the full details of what you actually ordered in Bronco and that can better enable people to help you rather than playing darts in the dark. I know I sure as hell get tired of having to ask "what did you order" when people are wanting help..... Make it easy for people to help you, not 20 questions.

I'll be the one to say it.....probably should have went with the Sasquatch package. 3.73 gearing is marginal at best for 315/70/17. I have a Base Sasquatch with the 2.3. With the 4.70 gearing I find it to be fine for my needs, got it mostly for the looks and the stance...not afraid to admit it!!! With your gearing, I'd try to find the lightest tire/wheel combo at 33" tall. It should give you the look you need. But just remember the 255/75/17 on the BB come out to just over 32" and they look okay on it in person. 255/80/17 get you just over 33". Tires with a more aggressive tread pattern will look "meatier".

If I got the BB, which I almost did, I would have gotten the rear locker with the 4.27 gearing and put better AT tires on it.

Hi Clueless, I'm Dad.

If you want to keep the stock wheels, stick to a 285 width tire. 285/70/17 for a 33 or 285/75/17 if you want a tad bigger.
