Huge props to @RedDawg who crawled under the 2 door Badlands Bronco on the Sanderson, AZ showroom floor to take a pic of the stamp inside the optional Badlands wheel. He or she is the man/woman!
Hopefully some of you experts can comfirm my math but since this pic shows “ET55“ stamped on the wheel, that ET55 means a positive offset of 55mm (which when converted to inches is 2.16”). So, since this is a 17 x 8” wheel then the centerline of the wheel is at 4.0” and if you add 2.16” to that it means this that the backspacing is 6.16”. But then you have to add.5” for the outside bead measurement. So, to sum it up, we now should have the specs on this wheel. Again, someone check me here but below should be the specs for the optional Badlands wheel:
The Optional Badlands wheel is a 17 x 8” wheel, with 6 x 5.5” (or 6 x 139mm) with a 55mm offset and 6.66” of backspacing.
Next logical question is can you fit a 35 x12.5 or 315/70 on this wheel and not have it rub on the front upper control arms or the crash members in the front wheel well?
@jaruss01 - Can you share math and graphics showing us if this wheel will fit a 35 or 315 without rubbing?
This is the wheel I am referencing.
Tire size: 285/70R17, 33" tire
