Post below what your plans are, or if you’ve already done it!

Keeping stock?
Or changing it up?

I mean as long as you by a 17" version 🤷🏻‍♂️
Well.. I thought they were 17"... better do more reading. Or rather. I was wondering about the stock wheel width. for the 12.5 tire.

I've already purchased black steelies that match the Black Diamond spec, for my Big Bend. Planning to purchase some KO2s in stock 255/75R17 size or bump up an inch to 255/80R17s. When the wheel centre caps become available at the parts counter, I'll pick them up too.

Holy overinflation, Batman! No dirt on the shoulders of the tire.

I’m looking for some different wheels and probably a front bumper to set it off from other Broncos I may see. I’m thinking some 17x8 or 8.5 bronze wheels but I don’t want a 0mm offset like most have. The stock Badlands wheels are +55mm, I’m thinking something in the 285/75R17 on a +25mm wheel would look right without too much poke. The Toyo Open Country AT III is the only AT tire in that size that is still C rated. Toyos are not my first choice, but I won’t compromise and run a D or E rated tire. My other option is the 315/70R17 BFG’s from the Raptor but I think they would be too wide. Maybe I’ll just change wheels and keep the stock BFG’s.

The Toyos:

For me personally... looking at the tried and true BFGoodwich KO2. Which luckily come standard on the Badlands non-Sas.

Longer term I may try these Nitto tires that everyone seems to love. But 3PMSF rated tires are important where I live, and I'm not sure if any of the Nitto tires have that rating.

Happen to have a link or model number for those steelies?

I have the Badlands with the beadlock-capable wheels on order, and I actually plan to install beadlock rings on them. To avoid having to remount tires all the time, hoping to grab a set of steelies I can use for everyday driving.

A lot of the hybrid tires are designed to do that, the Ridge Grapplers being one of them. You air them up to normal pressure 35-40 PSI and it sits largely on the center tread to behave more like All-Terrains. Air them down and they behave more like Mud-Terrains.

If you look at unmounted Ridge Grapplers from a side profile point of view, the center tread looks like it is 3-5mm higher than it "should" be. Milestar Patagonia has a similar setup on their tire. Kind of an interesting design, but truthfully not sure how I feel about it.

Not to mention these are 13.50 wide tires on a 17x8.5 rim...

Went with these: 17x8/0 offset/American Racing AR172s wrapped in BFG KO2s at 295/70/R17. Rubbed a little going forward, but a good bit in reverse at 60% lock. Removed crash bars and now it fits perfectly.
