If you are sticking with those stock 17" wheels there are a few options.I have a ‘22 Big Bend and need new tires. I’d like to go bigger but don’t want to lift it. I do some off roading and lots of skiing but don’t really want off road tires. Suggestions? Photos? Thanks in advance!
True wheel width and offset will effect clearance.
The Big Bend has 17x7.5 in wheels. The non-sas Badlands is a tad wider at 17x8, allowing a slightly wider tire.
What I did I recommend. Badlands 17x8 non-sas OEM wheels with a very quiet, sure footed road and beach tire: Nitto Nomad Grappler 285/70R17 tires. Your BB wheels are 17x7.5. These tires add 2" width, .7" height.I have a ‘22 Big Bend and need new tires. I’d like to go bigger but don’t want to lift it.

For the super safe option that has 100% no rubbing with crash bars installed, 285/70r17 will be a good bet.
For an option with a bit larger size but slight rubbing at full lock, 285/75r17. This also keeps crash bars
If you remove the crash bars I believe that you can go all the way up to 35x11.5r17 with minimal rubbing (others please correct if I'm wrong)
I plan to do the second option in a few weeks, just need to find a good deal on Toyos in that size.
Thanks for the great info. I’m ok look at it all. I’m not clear on the crash bars though. Where are they?If you are sticking with those stock 17" wheels there are a few options.

I did some research on crash bars and looked at my truck and it seems that when we added the steel bumpers the front crash bars were removed(I can see the rear one). So do you think I can go bigger that the 33’s?If you are sticking with those stock 17" wheels there are a few options.

I am not sure if the two crash bars are different distances from the center of the wheel or if they are placed in about the same spot front to back.Thanks for the great info.

Straight from Discount Tire. Shopped around and it was the best deal. Great company!Like night and day. Mild to rugged wild. Great choice of tire size, it looks very proportional and not overwhelming on the Bronco.
The black rims on the 2 door look bad ass!35in on both with no lift and the green one just got lifted

How is the road noise with the new tires? Louder or quieter than the originals?Thanks for all the great input. It was really helpful! I chose the Toyo 285/70/17 and I’m really pleased. No rubbing, looks great.
