Show us your installed wheel / tire upgrades here! (Pics)

It's funny how people have different preferences on the color. I was worried because it looked very light on the website but I was pleasantly surprised that it almost exactly matches the roof and door trim on the sides. (I almost went with the black wheels because I wanted it to be on the darker side. )

I would like to see it next to the titanium color from the Method site to see if there is any difference. I can't imagine those are darker than these (and wonder if they're actually the same color and it's just marketing for this specific wheel set for the Ford site).

Thanks for your O.P. And this post. I am in agreement that I am pleased they are darker than they appear on the marketing site. This gives me pause as I think I like it more than I anticipated.
Btw, photos were great and I appreciate how they showed the wheel color in context.

thanks!

My Badlands Non-Sas with OBX flares, no lift. Installed the 17" RTR Tech 6 (+30) in Satin Charcoal with BF Goodrich 315/70R17 KO2 (the Ford OE version in C2 loading). Bought the tires and had them installed at Discount Tire.

I painted my own Bronco logo on the center caps. I removed the metal RTR sticker, and used a bronco sticker as a stencil. Very happy with how it turned out. No offense to the RTR folks. =)

Great looking set up! Love the logo detail! Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business!

No offense taken! We love seeing people add their own touches to their vehicles.

I’m happy with these rough country 87 series wheels. I wasn’t sure what they would look like since I’ve never seen on a bronco in my searches. I like the added poke of zero offset on the SAS flairs. Kinda like the cactus grey, these copper bronze wheels look different in different angles and sun light.

STAGE ONE: STOCK
True Story, a "peace officer" gave me an hour to come back with "Your Fully installed and recognizable front License plate that enables you to legally navigate the roads of our fine state..." Yes I can (and will ) move the license plate.
if it bothers you... please
Look away.

We are daily driving. Upgrade a little here, tweak a little there. Blessed that our daily drives for work regularly end up somewhere on a mountain pass or remote area of the Rocky Mountains. The catch is, we are 61,000 Miles into the 6G life and have three different toll passes to get to our sloppy work sites, so we cant really lift or risk hard core Rock Crawl. But we do get into some serious s#!t, and quickly determined our most important first upgrade need were the tires

Stock Tires and Wheels - It was fine. It really was...

Our Office

This was all Stock with Grabbers - It was sexy

STAGE TWO: FALKENs: .

The OEM stuff was fine. Really.

But was it though?
No. In all seriousness, we needed better shoes for the places were going for work.

And of course, we all know, other than steelies, most stock wheels are "on the clock..."

This Scruffy picture above never happened... because we "may" have taken a 2-hour detour over Shrine Pass on the way back down the hill to Denver from a film shoot. This is what happens. Running an errand on the way "down the hill..."
You can't tell anybody, because you never saw this.

RTR Tech 6 - 17 X 9 - Offset 30 wheels
Falken Wildpeak AT3 285 70r 17

We are now in RTR Tech 6 Heaven.
Damn, that is one very sweet and logically equipped daily driving combo for us. This is our optimal size as we are 61K miles into the 6G lifestyle so 35's are a bit overkill for us to "get to the office".
The 4:4:6 Ratio is magic and we regularly squeeze 19-23MPG out of our ride.
(18-20mpg is more regular than 23mpg, but you know this)

Blessed with the need to navigate legitimate off road, mining, abandoned rail, slop, snow, mud and some mild rock groveling, but nothing above a 4 or soft 5.
Anything harder means it is too expensive to be a film location for us and snapped steering tie rods are not on the production schedule.

Damn... Those RTR's make for a tasty stance on the 285's.

Below shows the Non-Sas Fender Flare Poke of the Tech 6 - 17 x 9 - Offset 30 wheels with the 285 70 17's. This is for those bound to ask about POKE the same way I searched for that info.
Just put them on so don't know how bad the rock throw will be but we share a milder version of the philosophy of the much respected @popo_patty, and one of our Black Diamond heroes, @Mean Green Bronc Machine "Its a Bronco, Drive it"

Thank you Jim at RTR for dealing with both my travel shipping arrangements and the post shipping issue! I cannot give RTR a high enough rating.

And thanks Bronco6g Community. This has been a tremendous must visit stop for almost 4 years now. It is ground zero for 6G truth.

Some new mountain pix next week.

2: Second. We are daily driving. Upgrade a little here, add a little there.

@FilmcoBronci Very cool transformation! Good read. Thanks for sharing.

37” BFG All Terrains
Method 315’s w/ 0 Offset
Eibach Coilovers and changed out the front springs from 450lb to 550lb
ICON UCA’s

@Triathlonfun what was the reason for going up a size on the front springs? I have the adjustable Eibach coilovers in hand, haven’t installed yet. Wondering if sag from my winch is going to use up all the adjustment just to get back to OEM height when I install

I had read others had some sag in the front when they added weight like a winch. The Badlands is also the heaviest of all trims. I plan to do a winch as well. I’ve been really happy with it.

These were my my before and after measurements.
