I am lucky enough to have an Outer Banks scheduled for January. To get it sooner, I walked away from the SAS package - I will never need it all and just liked the look. I am glad I did that as it seemed to work in my favor.
However, never seeing an OBX in person, I am anticipating the stance will not be what I want in the long run. I appreciate the Wildtrak stance and drive a demo model and was Impressed. I like the OBX stock wheels and don’t plan to get rid of them anytime soon. I am actually not a big fan of much, If any, poke.. I have scoured this forum for well over a year learning and reading about fitment. Just this week, I found a decent video that shows 35x12.5x18 will rub (below).
I would prefer the 35x12.5x18 and am considering options to make it happen while maintaining as much stock as possible. Has anyone placed spacers on their Bronco? Anyone measured their wheel studs? It appears that an 18 mm offset is the money for not rubbing for 35’s. That’s under an inch. I know there is controversy over spacer use. I am not off roading and know quality of product and correct fit is essential.
