Those wheels - like my BD optional alloys - will always be hard to find, since the original buyer paid extra to have them in the first place. Unlikely you’ll find too many people selling them…Thats a great setup. Those takeoffs are hard to find. Hopefully when ford starts pumping out units theyll be easier to come by.
I think theres 2 sets of black diamond option takeoffs closer to me right now. Considered them too but Id just want the wheels to add bigger tires if i go that route.Those wheels - like my BD optional alloys - will always be hard to find, since the original buyer paid extra to have them in the first place.

I was wondering what load rating people were going with. I had 10ply tires on my aluminum f150 for a while and they rode horrible. I was thinking like a 6 ply for the bronco?I've said it before, but the 285/70r17 is perfection for the daily driven offroader, given how inexpensive (well, relatively) and light the tire options are, and the sheer number of them in load ranges from SL to E.
I love my 'squatched Bronco, but being able to share 80% of the tire offerings in that size with the wife's F250 is not something I enjoy Monday through Friday.
That’s my inclination, the C load/6ish ply tires seem to be a good compromise between a decent ride on marginal roads and sidewall durability when aired down.I was wondering what load rating people were going with.

nopeDoes Ford offer the option of SAS with 33s? I like the idea of 33's for break-in/ daily driving but would like to also have the SAS package and be ready to go for more hardcore off-roading in the future.
Great looking 2dr!Those bronze wheels are absolutely choice. Awesome Bronco
Did you have to lift? Ford Dealer here is telling me the 285s won't fit on my Outer Banks.285/70/17 bfg ko2s, I think it's the perfect size for a 2 door. You don't compromise performance while having a more aggressive look.
