Tires rub?

[BadlandsBill]

I have a Badlands Sasquatch on order. I plan to have second set of Method wheels and Nitto 35” Mud Graplers for off road. My question is will the 14 1/2 “ wide Nittos rub with stock offset without using spacers?

Yes they will, the first photo is the 33" Badlands, very close to the control arm, same on the 35" SAS second photo.

Two inches wider than Squatch? Yes, they'll rub.

Only 1” wider on the inside right?

So maybe a 1” spacer? I hate the thought of spacers but the Method 106 is -44.

Keep looking for other wheel options, this is a case of function over style, or a different size tire.

A year from now there will be lots of rim options with the right offset for wider tires on a bronco.

A spacer isn't going to help. Those method's have a -44 (NEG 44 offset), the Sasquatch is +30 (Non Sas +55). Positive offset puts the mounting surface closer to the outer wheel face, NEG offset=closer to the back of the wheel.

Wheels alone are going to be pushed OUT 74mm without a spacer, almost three inches. A spacer would only make it worse.
The control arm probably won't be the issue here, it'll be the tire turning into the wheel wells unless it's lifted a considerable amount.

You'll be fine, look like a desert stinkbug though.

The Method 703 is a 17x8.5 with 35mm offset .

14.50" tire and a -44 wheel is going to be a big problem. Hitting the control arm won't likely be one of the issues. Good luck try to make a turn. That is a big time Bro-Dozer look and will create many issues with the Bronco.

I think it may be the look in the south though, Texas, Florida. At least that's my impression. I'd rather have a 35x10.5 tucked in as much as possible, but I think that's a PNW thing...so. I say go for it OP.

Where do you visit here in North Texas to need that large of a mud tire?

Someone that understands offsets. Very nice!
