315/70/17 tires on non Sas Badlands

[Carrotop79]

Recently purchased 3K mile takeoffs from a F-150 Raptor which replaced the 285/70 that came factory. For the front, all I did was remove the crash bars to fit the tires. I purchased the Rough Country 3rd brake light extender and had to shave the rubber bumpers .5" for the new spare size. I did not use the spacer that came with the RC kit. In hindsight, it appears I could of gotten away without the light extender but I will keep in for now. No issues at all and a great ride. I was very close to the 1" level kit but it doesn't look terrible to me so I'll drive it for a bit and see how I feel. I also kept the stock fender flares which are almost perfectly even with tire. First pic is before then rest are after install.

Okay I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to take the extension off. To each their own I suppose but the gap was bothering me. Also, the amount of water and debris that gets on the doors and sills is ALOT without the SaS flares. I will be adding those soon.

Carrotop, I just purchased, seemingly, the exact same model as you have. A used White, 2022 non-sas badlands, lux, soft top with the upgraded black and grey rims and the stock tires are 285/70R15's. My understanding is that these stock rims are only 8" with a +55 offset... Am I wrong about the rims? I'd like to move to 315/70R15's so I removed the crashbars front and back, but I'm convinced the larger tires will rub against the upper control arms. What did you do to avoid that - if anything? Or am I wrong about the rims?

3rd brake light like this were popular in the Jeep world. Kind of surprised that I haven't seen anything like this on a Bronco yet. Vision is also improved without that brake light on top of the tire.

I had these installed: Diode Dynamics Stage Series C1R White Flood LED Pod (pair), mounted on the AGS OFF-ROAD 2021+ Ford Bronco In-Wheel Light Mount. They work well and I'm happy with them.

With anything like this you need compatible wheels that have enough space for the pods to be mounted between the spokes.
