Tire Comparison Question

[604Bronco]

Yep, I’m going to be “that guy” who you’d expect this question from a new member with one post. Sorry! Even with the various tire comparison websites out there, I still second guess myself when it comes to upsizing tires.

So I’ve ordered a 4 door Badlands with the Sasquatch package, so it should come with 315/70/R17 tires (if memory serves me correctly). I was looking at keeping the Badlands wheels, but changing out my tires. Not sure what I’m going to go with from a brand perspective, but was looking at a slightly larger tire - 35x12.5/R17

• I assume this will fit the factory Badland rim?
• I would imagine with such a small increase in tire size I shouldn’t have issues with rubbing or anything?
• Has anyone installed this tire size already (without a lift, level, etc.)?

Thanks for humouring me and my stupid questions.

You will have no issues. Most 35X12.50's are the same size as stock. Look at the manufacturers website to roughly compare physical heights. Some manufacturers do make a 35 that is actually 35".

I thought the factory tires were only 34.5“ or so?

Yes, factory are. Most 35's still only measure 34.5. You need to look at the manufacturer specs on tire height to confirm if it's a "true" 35 or not. Keep in mind that rim width has an affect on installed height. I think Nitto and Interco are both true to size manufacturers for the most part.
