I just changed my wheels and tires and now my bronco won't drive. There is no rubbing but it feels like the brakes are on. I have released the parking break but no change. What could it be?
Your rubbing on something. Whether it's the calipers or tires on the body.

They are bigger tires and rims. There is 0 rubbing and have full turning
OK your definitely rubbing on the calipers.

They are bore rubbing front calipers. What are my options?
Depends where your rubbing. If it's the spokes, could get spacers, but I don't recommend that. If it's the rim, you've got no option but to go back. What Tim's do you have?

Is the drum part of the wheel rubbing the caliper or is the back side of the spokes? And by how much?
2 options.
1 is to get some 1/4” spacers. The other would be to grind down the caliper just enough to clear. Its been done thousands of times before.

You can see where the calipers dug in. The rim fit fine. Only thing I can think of is once the weight was on it the clearance was taken up

What wheels are they and what are the specs? Brand, Diameter, width, offset?

Need spacers or new rims or (definitely can't recommend, smaller/modified calipers). Sorry for bad news

You need to reach out to whomever sold them to you, a quick Google search showed fitment issues on a Toyota and Jeep so odds are Broncos are a problem with them too. Good luck.
