What are the wheel choices on Badlands? Pics of what we’ve seen

[elmystico]

They will be. Beadlock capable with either carbonized grey, or warm alloy rings. Whatever warm alloy is? I wish Ford would show us some pictures.

Auto Week claims this is the beadlock-capable Squatch wheel with the warm alloy beauty ring.

and if I remember correctly - the ones at bronco west were wearing 33s - so - it got the Sasquatch bead lock capable wheels but with 33” tires.... interesting to see how / if this is packaged from Ford.

I think bead lock capable wheels are a stand alone option for Badlands. It will be interesting to find out if they are the same backspace (and width) as standard Badlands wheels or as the Sasquatch wheels.

Yeah my truck is 6” lifted w/ 35” MT tires, I daily drive it 56 miles round trip to/from work at speeds 70-75mph. Whether I have the sunroof open or the windows down, I have more wind noise entering the truck than my tires. Wife and I can have a conversation at that speed perfectly fine or I can talk on the phone with the windows up. The wrangler with the soft top, I cant talk on the phone.

I open my windows and sunroof so I don't have to have a conversation with my wife ?

Take a look at this Bronco Nation interview here with a Bronco engineer. Scrub to the 10min mark. He talks about the 33” BFG KO2s LT285/70R17 All-Terrains as standard on Badlands and the option to switch to the Goodyear 33“ LT285/70R17 Mud-Terrains which come with the aesthetic beadlock-capable ring that you’re talking about in this thread. Both wheels are 17”. I prefer the look of the beadlock-capable ring (which comes in black and silver) but not sure how much noisier the mud-terrains will be or how much quicker they’ll wear as a daily driver.

That is my understanding as well except for the MT on the Goodyear stands for Multiple Terrain, as this is a custom made tire for the Bronco. In addition, both the rims available on the Badlands model are narrower than the all black Sasquatch rim.

When you say narrower you mean...diameter? Spoke width? Beadlock ring thickness? Because the specs show 17” diameter for all Badlands tires and the Squatch.

I think narrower rim width. Sasquatch shows 8.5” width wheels on this chart.

I mean the width of the rim and the tire. The 33" rim is a 17x8 with a 285/70r17 tire. The Sasquatch package comes with a 17x8.5" wheel with a 315/70r17 tire.

Thanks, you beat me to it??

Thanks would have been great if I saw this chart sooner, Good stuff. Wish it showed backspacing of each wheel...

Thanks @ZackDanger @ToddReynolds. Half an inch wheel depth isn’t much but it’s probably noticeable with the tire on it. Gotta have all the surface area you can get amiright?

It looks like there may two finish options for the Non-Sasquatch Badlands
