Thanks. Wasn’t sure if that was the only number I needed to be concerned with. I saw another post about hub-centric spacers and I thought the bolt pattern was the same.
This is indeed another factor to look at, but most aftermarket wheels including these are usually made with a relatively large center bore so they fit a wide variety of vehicles. The hub diameter on the Broncos are 93.1mm. As long as the wheels you are putting on have a center bore this size or larger, you're fine. I personally run hub centering rings on my Jeep with my wheels, that make up the gap between the vehicles hub bore diameter and wheel center bore. This is mostly so that the lug's are lined up perfectly within the holes so the lug doesn't need to "pull" the wheel center.

Hub-centric spacers are a different thing entirely. As the name implies, they're a spacer that attaches between the rotor hub surface, and the wheel to "space" the wheel further out. The hub centric part meaning the weight of this spacer, and the attached wheel/tire, are distributed through the hub as opposed to just the studs like in a regular spacer. This is significantly stronger, and the preferred design for a spacer. The only reason you would need a spacer is if the wheel you're running has too much backspace, which would tuck it further into the body of the vehicle. In combination with a wider/taller tire, this could cause interference issues. Based on the fact you mentioned you're aware of the "poke", I'm assuming you've already considered this factor

Thanks. Yea I was aware of the backspacing issue and the poke issue, and I’m fine with this wheel in both senses.

Thanks for clarifying.

Method 703s 0 offset, with stock badlands BFGs. Just added Sasquatch flares to cover the poke.

Any chance you get a measurement vs the stock flares?

Here's my 17x8.5 0 offset on stock BB (no crash bars) with Nitto 315/70/17. Not sure changing to Sasquatch flares will be worth it

I didn’t get measurements, but as others said with the 0 off set 8.5” wide wheel, you get about 2-2.5” of poke with standard flares (my poke looked similar to yours). Sasquatch flares pretty much covers them perfectly… the treads of the tire will be covered by the flare. It’s totally worth it as the tires won’t throw up rain, snow, sand, etc on your doors. Now if you live in so cal or the desert then probably don’t need to worry about it.

Can you turn without scrubbing?
Nothing rubs at full left/right steering lock. A little loss in power and fuel economy, +/- 2 mpg. Ride is still very good but a little more harsh over potholes. Much happier with appearance and stance.

Now if you live in so cal or the desert then probably don’t need to worry about it.

So if you look up the Ford Accessories part # FMS-M-9164-BFK for the Sasquatch flares, the price hovers well over $400.

Not many places seem to have them in stock - and those that do - again WELL over $400. So I decided to use the actual factory production part # for the Sasquatch flare kit. My normal supplier had them and they are shipping today. $370 for the set of (4).

Will update once I receive them and get them installed.

These look good! What vendor did you get them from. Also can you post more of a head on and rear shot pics to show relative to fenders?
