Even if the suspension components were exactly the same, you still don’t know what else is going on in that Bronco wheel well that the same wheel/tire combo will end up interfering on.
Yeah thats true! This is why this sucks to get anything because no one knows jack crap with the vehicle. I wish Ford would have done a better job at releasing this info so we could have no problems replacing things or doing upgrades.
Thanks
That's a great looking wheel.You said it! The vast majority of wheels are cheap and made for multiple applications >> The overwhelming vast majority of wheels, even some high quality ones are overbored and use centering rings shimmed down to the correct size.
You can buy wheels that are made for multiple applications if you wish but why not spend a little bit more to get a wheel that was made for your vehicle?
I run Titan7s on my Raptor. Forged, super light and strong with the correct hub bore. BTW .... Bronco application coming soon.
If you'd like to know how the calculator finds all the numbers...
The offset measurement baffled me for the longest time.
Actually counterintuitive to me. Positive offset sets wheel in more? I have to stop and think every time I see it. It's like a local street, you have to exit to stay on the street, every time I get to that intersection I have to say "Get off to stay on" under my breath.
It's because the "offset" is not referring to the wheel as a whole, but rather to the hub mounting surface. Positive offset moves that surface in a "positive" direction relative to the wheel's centerline and vice versa.
Well it's not going to rub like that specifically. None of the UCA is inside the rim. It could rub the knuckle though.Since they’re telling you the issue has to do with rubbing the suspension, it could be just the design of that wheel. Instead of having a outward tapered barrel, it could be that it is a straighter one with a smaller diameter at the inside bead. Note, they are only suggesting an extra 8mm of offset, so it probably only rubs the suspension at maximum travel. All of this is speculation of course, but with different wheels having different dimensions, there’s more to it than just offset. This is a rough sketch, so don’t laugh, lol.
when you look at the details for each wheel, it shows you that it has a +35 or 0 or -12 or -20 or whatever. Maybe the next box to the tight tell you what the Actual backspace is for each wheel width. These might be 4.5” or 4.75” or even 5.37”. Regardless of everything else, you probably want 4.5 to 4.75, but it’s up to you.
How did you get a hold of my junior high disciplinary records?!Well it's not going to rub like that specifically. None of the UCA is inside the rim. It could rub the knuckle though.
