Question about wheels/tires for a 2022 base model

[Doc66]

Hello all,

My base model is shipped and on its way, according to Ford's May 20th email to me. I ordered a base model with the intention of upgrading it on my own, including the right sound system, exterior lighting, and wheels/tires. The only upgrades I added were the floormats, keypad and front bumper. Regarding the wheels/tires, as I've tried to do my homework here on the forum, I've found myself still not quite understanding what I think I should. I'd like to pose a few question here:

1) Any recommendations for a trustworthy 2" liftkit?

2) If I purchase Sasquatch wheels (on ebay, for example, like these) and add these 35s, does anyone know if I should expect that combination to work on a 2022 base model with said 2" lift kit, or would I have to do any modifications to the crashbar, etc.?

3) What is wheel offset and how do I factor that in to the wheels and tires I'm considering?

Thanks for any feedback.

Doc

If you ordered the auto transmission, skip the 35's go with 33's. After regearing for 35's, lifting, aligning, wheels, tires, mounting and balancing, and recalibrating, you've already exceeded the cost of the Sas package, and still have open diffs, the small axles, no advanced 4wd, and possibly voided your drive train warranty.

The Sasquatch has a 1.1” lift over your base. Does not get the crash bars. The badlands wheels and tires and somewhat easy to come by and have what they call 33’s 32.8” actually but fit with no lift or anything else needed and look good. But to answer your question 2” is fine, crash bars out for 35’s

Hadn't even thought of this. I'm thinking the 33s will work great.

Thank you! You see the hint of red thru my bronco well that’s my wife’s as and the other person mentioned 3.5” lift, labor, alignment, wheels and tires were about what the sas package would be. But good luck finding a sas equipped bronco for msrp anywhere near me let alone an outer banks or higher trim.
. Any way here’s what throwing all that on looks like.
