Time to upgrade my wheels and tires

[Bronco #6]

2022 outer banks non sas.

looking at outlaw wheels and falken wild peaks at3. will go with a level kit but after the tire upgrade.
I drive about 120 highway miles per day so my concerns are gas mileage, noise, and weather, rain and snow.

I want to go with a smaller rim- more sidewall. can i go to a 15" or 16" rim?
also would like to go to a larger tire but maybe a true 32" .

With the proper offset you can go about any size wheel you want however your mileage will take a small hit going to a larger tire.

I'd go with a 17" wheel, it opens up a lot more options for you. Tire options open up for you too.

I have 17" Baja style wheels with a 285/70/17 (which is like 32.5") tire, no lift. I've got zero rubbing, and they look like the right size (maybe a hair small for my preference, but they don't look undersized compared to the vehicle)

I run 16s on a 33 with a small lift. With 3.73 gearing mpg is going to drop a solid 2-4 mpg even with a 33. I average about 16.

I am running 17's with about a 34.25 tire, and a 2inch leveling kit. Gas mileage has gone down to about 15.5mpg

16" wheels fit no issues. Several 16" tire sizes to choose from!

I have stick Badlands wheels and tires. Mileage is between 18 & 20. I have rooftop tent and ROAM storage box.

What do you mean by true 32? I thought the Outerbanks had 18" rims and 32" tires?

How is that different than "True 32"?

What's the average MPG on a 37" tire and wheel set up on the 2.7L engine?

I am currently averaging 20.2 mpg with 37/1250/17 bfg all terrain with the ford pro-cal performance tune on 2023 wildtrack
