Who makes aftermarket wheels that fit?

[ZackDanger]

i am no expert on tires/wheels, but i know a goodyear tire store manager here in naples, and i will need to discuss with her. i was actually trying to figure out how to go without flares (see old school bronco) by using a narrow tire/wheel with negative offset, but all the bronc wheels are 55+ offset. i would really like the fenders/flares of the bronco modular model they profiled and blew up, but i cannot find these.

Regular bronco wheels are +55, Sas wheels are +30

The wheels on the overland concept are 0... and they’re pretty far out.... and this is with the wider Sas flares:

Some people will certainly want this look... but it’s a very specific look... especially considering it puts the tire out farther than any is the stock fender options.

There is a reason you can't tuck them in anymore.

yes i see that. not much room between tire and the control arm (?)
i prefer a narrow tire.

I have my eye on RTR. They make 0 and +30 options. I am also looking forward to see what Titan 7 puts out, assuming that they do.

the 15/52 white analog wheel claims zero offset;
doesn't that mean it sticks out less than the +30/55mm factory offset?
i did not order sasquatch; only limited available option i got was 2.7L for both broncs and one is a 2-door, the other 4-door. both red. i can get aftermarket lift (interactivegarage.com)
17 inch wheel with 33 inch tire. don't want the truck lifted too much, can't climb in it.
i don't like the fat tire with big flare look. prefer small flare, narrow tire, or at least the flare integrated into the fender like that brown factory one where they showed them changing fenders etc. i would get those fenders if available.

+0 sticks out around 1.18 inches more than +30

Here are the offset sizes from tiresize.com, all things tires, sizes, dimensions and tools.
Comparisons are with the 33" 285/70R17 tires not the 35" SAS tire.

285/70R17 +55 standard wheels vs 285/70R17 +30 SAS wheels.
0.98" Farther Out

285/70R17 +55 standard wheels vs 285/70R17 0 offset wheels.
2.17" Farther Out

285/70R17 +30 SAS wheels vs 285/70R17 0 offset wheels.
1.18" Farther Out

Instead of talking with the goodyear tire store manager a great tool to learn about tire sizes and dimensions is tiresize.com

For example:

1. Select a tire size (links below)
2. Filter on 17 inch size tires.
3. Filter on All Terrain tires.
4. Filter on S/L Load Range tires (my personal preference) or you can look at C, D or E Load Range Tires, it's all what you're used to, like or need. At the top of each page will be all the tires dimensions. Click on the box, Alternate Sizes/Hide Sizes to see a table of multiple tires. (screenshot below)

If you go with an offset less than +55 (including negative offsets) the tires are going to move outwards, not inwards. This seems to be the opposite of what you are looking to do.

Or is there something I am missing?

Does anyone know if any wheel company makes 17"slotted mags,,,,, not black but with 5 slots, that could/would possibly fit. LOL

Thanks in advance.......

Theres a huge thread with all things wheels that should not be missed.

What aftermarket wheels for 2021+ Bronco do you want?

No, you are correct; i thought positive offset meant farther out from the hub; exactly opposite, thanks.

So 3 pages in and all I see is wheels people WISH would fit (well).....LOL
( I have better things to do then read 31 pages of that drivel)

But yeah, if there are slotted mag wheels that fit, that'd be great, I could match my 69!!! And they'd look great with AMB. as would these posted below.

Those steel soft 8's or "D" style or wagon wheels would be great also, but hard to find that will fit well ( in my opinion. +25mm offset or so.....).
I found these in 16 x 8 ..... +12mm... (black D style) (@Summit auto)

yes, thanks for the info; note that i was incorrect re; offset; i thought positive was farther out from the hub, but it is the opposite. i want wheels/tires that tuck in close and not stick out. also zachdanger pointed out same to me. i went to the site above; will spend more time there when i get some time. but i need goodyear friend to mount the wheels/tires, balance etc. i like those analog wheels too much to give up on them. my broncs won't look right without them.

I don't know enough about tires to suggest going skinnier than the factory 255's. I'm sure you can achieve the proper load ratings etc etc, but there are other things to consider.

I do know from experience, todays vehicles, with the proper width tires are a damn site "grippier" on the road than the skinnys they used to run.
Just please be careful with your selection while trying to achieve a "Look".
There are very good reasons we do not do things the way we used to "in the good old days".

I intend to follow A LOT of very curvy, scenic roads as I road trip around in this thing. I certainly do not want to hear tire squeal while doing UNDER the speed limit on some hilly twisty road.
