Replacing stock Badlands wheels and tires (going up to 35") - what do I need to buy/consider?

[Itchysquatch]

So no solid info yet (Bronco is built but not going to be at the dealership for 3-4 weeks).

I changed my wheels a bit - going with Icons that are +6.

however after talking to some friends who are pretty hardcore off-roaders I decided on a 2” level kit.

I don’t mind a little poke and will likely get SAS flares at some point

Gotcha, thanks hanks for the update.

Added method 703s with 0 offset and 315/70r17 tires to my non SAS badlands. Drives great. No rubbing. I will be getting SAS flares and a bilstein lift this weekend, just because.

How well did the spare mount up? as far as the distance from the rear rubber bumpers, etc?

Have a set of 0 offset Method 305s waiting until I bring mine home Thursday. Not sure how I wanted to tackle the spare.

I bought extended rubber bumpers. Waiting for them to come in

Is there a simple modification to raise the third brake light? Mine runs a bit and looks unfinished. I thought I saw that you just need to raise the light and use two different mounting holes.

I’ve been digging around the forums and couldn’t find where I saw the mod originally.

I’m thinking of going with 35’s on my Badlands also, but without a lift. Has anyone done this with a 25mm offset or even with the stock Badlands wheels?
Anything other than removing crash bars necessary?

Not +25 but awfully close. Non Sas Badlands on 17x9 RTR Tech 6 Wheels +30 offset on BFG 315/70R17. Crash bars out no other mods and plenty of clearance. Spare fits with no mods to brake light-it is tight and the camera works as well.

Hopefully this is helpful.

I think +30 looks great. I may need to go with Sasquatch flares with the +25 unless I go with a narrower tire.

I have not made any changes yet. Bought Icon’s at +25 offset but haven’t decided on a tire size yet. I may put the stock KO2’s on before I make a change just to see it in front of me with my own eyes.
