can anyone tell me why OBX is the only model that comes with 18 inch wheels and is this a good or a bad thing.

Because it’s a Bronco in a dress (non Sasquatch). Wrangler Sahara is the competing model with this. Wheels are just part of the look.can anyone tell me why OBX is the only model that comes with 18 inch wheels and is this a good or a bad thing.

Right. I got the Sahara for the bigger wheels and didn't need the off-road gadgetry (and price) of the Rubicon. I bought my Jeep mainly for the styling, not the off-roading. Now with the Bronco, it seems you need to decide which seats you want, and go with that model (hope that changes in successive years). Unless wheel/tire setup is a main concern for you. Seems more folks are hung up on seats than wheels/tires on the Bronc. Sasquatch it and forget it.Because it’s a Bronco in a dress (non Sasquatch). Wrangler Sahara is the competing model with this.

That is so weird, but correct. There are only three-ish questions. First one is do you need the sway disconnect? The second qestion is what level you want Mid, High, Lux.....quickly followed by which interior is your favorite? Add Sas, done.Right.

this has been incredibly frustrating when looking for tire options- i think i found one model that would work that wasn't heavy dutyWhat he said.
...also it’s incredibly annoying for the aftermarket world because the entire tire industry has E Load rated tires if you want 33 and up on an 18” rim. Why? Because they are mostly pick up trucks that have 18” rims and there’s a demand for heavier loads. Most off roader rigs have 17” rims and the tire options are endless in that size.
Subrocru?In before someone says it...
because it’s a Subaru
That's cuz most of those customers have admitted to themselves they will be more onroad than off .... offroading will not involve extreme rock crawling or high speed desert runs ... but the capability will be there cuz bottom line all the Bronco trims are decent offroadersinterestingly, for all the hate the outer banks gets on this forum, it's the second most popular trim level on here when i looked at the stats with 14% of members who reported ordering that level after the badlands which was at 40%
18s give it a street look...they don’t look great on an off road vehicle. They’re not awful, just 16s and 17s with a lot of sidewall look a heck of a lot better and they perform better off road too with more sidewall.can anyone tell me why OBX is the only model that comes with 18 inch wheels and is this a good or a bad thing.
