37's are the biggest I'd go on that vehicle given the dimensions. I wouldn't trust the trans gearing or power with anything heavier out there. Not to mention the speedometer/odometer will be wrong.

Yes, but the odometer would be in your favor. ?37's are the biggest I'd go on that vehicle given the dimensions. I wouldn't trust the trans gearing or power with anything heavier out there. Not to mention the speedometer/odometer will be wrong.
Same here, going to see if I can fit 37 Toyo RTs just on the Squatch without extra lift. If so then I’ll be a happy camper!I'm going 37s but don't plan on going bigger. I may run the 35s for a few weeks. Not sure yet. I'm really thinking about not adding the 2in lift at first and just see if it rubs. If it does then I will. The 35s are MTs and I don't care for MTs. My plan is to run TOYO open country RTs
Yes that it Oxford WhiteIs that the Oxford white that is being offered on the Bronco?
I run these on a lightweight samurai and they do simply okay. Great traction, quiet tire, but put them on something heavier like a Jeep (or Bronco) and they start wearing quickly, no matter the care, alignment or pressure. I will buy a bigger set for the Samurai soon, but wouldn’t dream of installing these on anything else. They also look great. If they just worked out the engineering/.formulation they would wonderful.Milestar Patagonia MT has a REALLY nice 38" BSW!
You might be on to something, a 2" body lift might not be too bad, especially if you have the Badlands or Sasquatch setup already. I would not go any higher than 2" for a body lift.Watch this piss in people's Cheerios... I would prefer a 2in Body Lift to clear 37s.........?
I wouldn't go higher than a 2" body lift either and will, coincidentally, be purchasing a Badlands.You might be on to something, a 2" body lift might not be too bad, especially if you have the Badlands or Sasquatch setup already. I would not go any higher than 2" for a body lift.
I think you should just go with the factory 2” lift and fender flares. You might need a New wheel with a small offset to push the center of the wheel out just a bit. -12 and -18 backspace are pretty common (the resulting 1/2” to 3/4” offset will push out the wheel, giving more clearance to the wheel well and supports).Since there hasn't been a wheel / tire post all day, I thought this deserved a bump. We may as well speculate how we can squeeze 37's on with minimal effort. Any other thoughts?
I'm not against a small body lift, puck kit, etc if that was all it takes on a badlands or similar suspension. I'm going badlands. I think I'm almost certainly not going Squatch for the previous reasons stated. So 37s would give an extra inch of ground clearance and potentially add an inch of rub on the top end/fender. And did I mention look completely bad ass?
I'm willing to get creative but would like to start with the smallest amount of mods possible.
Yeah 2 inch factory lift seems like it would accommodate easy enough. Big question is whether that factory lift is a full two inches higher than the badlands suspension or if it's less.I think they will go with the factory 2” lift and fender flares.

Based on the 17 x 8.5 rims available on most Bronco models, the back of the wheels hub will be about 4.2 to 4.0 To the mounting plate. Anyhow, cost for wheels, but not fir a lift. Also, the wheel spacing would Be 6 x 139.7 (typical Ford Ranger).
You can get ideas of design snd vost, on Black Rhino Wheels.
I also plan on Badlands. I’m pretty sure that the stadard Badland suspension is 1.2”. That said I think you would need either the Sasq or the stand-alone 2” lift to make it work with 37’s.Yeah 2 inch factory lift seems like it would accommodate easy enough.

Offset is a fair point. 37x12.5 shouldn't have any offset issues that a 35x12.5 wouldn't have, right? If so, a set of good spacers could cure that as well. I really want to keep the factory wheels if possible. That's a lot to ask I know.
