OBX Wheel/Tire Upgrade Recs

[4Fords]

Hey Y’all! New to the forum and very much a novice when it comes to Wheels/Tires. I know there are other threads re: the same topic but looking for recommendations on a wheel/tire upgrade for my ‘23 CG OBX, which goes into production today (yay!)! I know absolutely nothing about offsets, fits, etc. My preference would be to fit 33” tires with a more aggressive look + matte black/gunmetal wheels. A found 18” Fuel Quakes that I really like but again not sure this will fit. I’d like to upgrade without any other mods necessary (lift kits, etc.) + without compromising the ride, ideally making it a smoother ride. Any and all recs & help welcome. Thanks y’all and excited to be a part of the Bronco family!

I like you was a novice to this. Never saw the need for wheel upgrades before, but love when guys get it right. I have a BB and OBX and I told my service guy of 27 years. Make it look like it can go off-road, but I prefer not to sacrifice fuel mileage! He keep me at 33.6” X 11.5” BF Goodrich K02. 0 offset wheels on both. I like it and my wife gets almost 20 MPG in her OBX. No lift. Pushed front crash bar forward and removed rear crash bar. Key he said was the weight of the tire at only 59lbs. New wheels were lighter than factory wheels too.

Love your OBX set up. What wheels did you go with? I would legit go that exact tire/wheel combo. Almost exactly what I was looking for.

Went with 35" on my OBX, RUNS GREAT NO ISSUES

Did you have to lift or do any other mods for this set up? Love it. What’s the tire/wheel combo?

2" spacer lift that's it.

cool! Is there a specific spacer lift you’d recommend and an easy install for a shop? What’s the wheel/tire combo on there? You’ve inspired me

Fuel bronze covert beadlock rim 18x9 nitto trail grappler 35x12.5x18.
The spacer install was easily done at a local 4x4 shop here in Texas

This is the most honest response I’ve seen on here in ages. Great looking ride without the sacrifices!

What’s the offset? I’m guessing zero and I assume you had a Sasquatch OBX to start?

Nope non Sasquatch traded fender flares with someone that wanted the non squatch flares.
