I will probably be interested in that, which wheels would they be? The all black bead locks? With mud terrains?

I think I have finally decided -- YES. The all black Beadlock capable wheel set... all 5 wheels and tires.

I'm probably going to have Squatch wheels for sale too. I think there's going to be a good availability out there.

Well, as a NEW WHEEL & TIRE take-off, typically less than 100 miles on the package, about 60% of a purchase price. So, 5-Sasquatch forged aluminum Beadlock rims might be worth about $325 to $350 each and the 315 X 75 X 17 Goodyear Wrangler (Territory) tires about $180 each = about $2500 X .60 = $1500 (BALLPARK) they are only worth what someone will pay!!!

I was talking about the Method wheels alone...I was thinking going AM for my Outer Banks just to have a nicer looking rim.

Mall crawlin bronco with fake beadlocks is the American dream

Ok, so First let me apologize for my ignorance. I have never used or owned beadlock tires.

My question is, is there a difference between normal beadlock tires and the “beadlock capable“ tires ford is offering? Are most beadlock wheels out there just “capable” if you bolt on the ring or are the they 100% only beadlocked. meaning you need another set for street driving. And if that’s the case how do ford’s differ?

Fords optional beadlock capable set up requires you to order a beadlock ring kit from Ford. Their version can be switched back and forth to a normal style wheel by removing the beadlock or adding the beadlock for off roading. Most beadlock wheels are 100% only beadlock. Converting their wheel to beadlock involves unbolting the rim's decorative outer ring, deflating the tire, pulling the edge of the tire , and tighting everthing down. According to Ford the wheels are for off road use only when in beadlock mode.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but saw on the Method website showing options for the Bronco.

Screenshots directly from the website above.

No information on factory backspacing/offset yet, but at least they show a few options.

Jeez, $308 each!! That’s pretty high

Beadlock wheel lockes the tire to the rim

I get that, but don’t they lock the rubber between the locker ring and the wheel, hence, if the locker breaks, your tire can come off. Hence why not street legal...how do the bead lock capable wheels ford is offering work differently Is what I am asking.

I just made this post for someone else that asked about backspacing, so I think I'll add it here too, so this information will be here in a couple different places.

WHEEL BACKSPACING -- I just responded to someone asking about wheel spacing at bronco6g, because it seems like something people want to know, NOW. While I can say I'm not positive... don't buy wheels yet, I'll just ask you to follow along. If you don't like this post, tell me why. If you don't believe the source of the information, tell them why. If you kinda agree (like me), but you can wait to measure the existing wheels and to look for things that your wheels could rub on, then you're butt-anal, like me!!!
Anyhow:

Well, I'll tell you what I think I know: When you use the Bronco configurator on interactivegarage.com , the available Rhino wheels for the Bronco are listed there to be either -18 or 0 (zero) backspace. When you go the the Rhino website, to review the specifications for the wheel, it is listed to have a 6 x 139.7 pattern (6-lug) and the noted 0 (zero) backspace is 5.3 (inches) backspace, and the also noted -18 backspace is 4.5 (inches). This leads me to expect that the Broncos with a smaller tread width (less than the 12" wide) would be set at 0 (zero). The 33" and the 35" (and the 37", if it's offered as an option) all have 12" width's, so I expect that reduced backspace (about 3/4" less) is to get the tires out there just a little bit wider, so they won't rub on... whatever they would be rubbing on.

If anyone lives in Southern California, I will be selling the Sasquatch 35's and the wheels off of my Badland's, as Brand New Take-Off's. Let me know.

I think you’re right, except when I did the Badlands non-Squatch to Wildrtack width comparison the conclusion I came to was the step outward is for the wider 35’s.

Of course the base wheels are 7”, black diamond 7.5”, badlands 8” and Sasquatch/ wildtrak 8.5” as well.

Ford's beadlock capable rims will give you the option to run without the beadlock. With most true beadlock rims you don't have the option, meaning you can only run one way which is with the beadlock in place.
