Show us your (Braptor only) wheel/tire upgrades

Here is a pic that will help you see the difference between 37s. Front is BFG KO2, rear is Nitto Trail Grapler. Obviously not the fairest comparison because one is an AT and the other a MT, but you get a general idea.

LOL that’s my Braptor! Rebel Offroad posted this to their instagram. Was very cool to see such a clear contrast of the tires.

Definitely dont wanna steal @Tye 's thunder, hopefully he is good with sharing the spotlight . I'm sure this isnt the final form of either of our rigs, lucky we are hundreds of miles apart. Here is my Raptor on BFG 39's with RTR 17x8 +18, fully wrapped in Xpel Ultimate (body) and Stealth(flares).

Ended up going with RPG. Ride is great but debating on lowering the tire pressure. I’m running 35 up front and 34 in the rear. What pressures are you running?

Are the Nittos bigger than the stock 37s? I heard BFGs run small... can you put them side by side?

Not my pic, but one I saved.

I'm about to order a set of the new Falken Wildpeak R/T01's to replace the BFG "37's"

Im running 38 all around but going to chalk test the tire to see how distributed the weight on the tire is and adjust accordingly

I think he was asking the size/height of the collars? If that’s not he meant, I am cystitis in the answer to the question LOL. Looks Great!

Tye and I have been communicating for months via DM lol. I do realize how this could help others but is the same as most with 39’s. RPG 1.5 up front and 2.25 in the rear.

This is a great thread to give owners and future owners like myself ideas on wheel and tire options. Here are 2 of my personal favorites. The KMC Impact will likely be the wheel I end up using, but the raceline looks amazing too! Kind of torn between the 2!

Here is mine

Wheels: RTR Evo 6 - 17x9 ET 18 - 22 lbs
Tires: BFG KO2 - 39x13.5x17 - 78 lbs
Lift Collars: RPG - 1.5" Front, 2.25" Rear

Also, i did before and after height measurements to see true lift with the RPG 1.5 front and 2.25 Rear combo:

Front went up just shy of 1.5", rear went up 1.5"

MONSTERS

I'm running the same RTR 17x9 wheels but w 0 offset and Nitto Trail Grapplers 38x13.5 and RPG collars 2.25. However, in reading this thread and comparing tire weights, I'm seriously considering going to the BFG to save around 11 lbs per wheel. Anyone wants a set of Nittos w about 700 miles on them? Lol

Looks good, what made you go with 0 offset instead of the 18?

Been waiting to see someone put projects on a bronco. I was definitely going to think about doing it on my SAS NonBrap but it looks so great. Always been obsessed over the KRT and KR2/3’s (used to have an 04 F150 with gen1 raptor suspension that I was always on the prowl for BFG projects)
