Bronco Raptor offset vs Bronco SAS offset…confused

[sean425]

I’m a little confused here and I’m hoping someone can explain or clarify this without judgement. The Bronco SAS wheels are +30 offset while the Raptors are +35….so the raptors wheels are actually more “tucked” in than the SAS correct? The reason I ask is because I’m going with 37’s and reading about all the modifications needed on a SAS to fit them and this just kind of through me for a loop it seems counter intuitive that’s the raptor with 37’s would be more pulled in….what am I missing here??

My understanding is the Braptor has very different and wider suspension.

You are correct. Raptor drive train is a completely different animal. The additonal width allows the wheels to be more tucked.

The raptors axles are 4" wider than the standard axles. More to do with high speed stability than tire size.

It’s understandable to be confused but 5mm is small potatoes compared to how much further out the steering knuckle is on the Raptor

That makes sense thank you!

I think the Raptor wheels are a different bolt pattern as well. Raptor is 6 x 135mm bolt pattern I think and non Raptor Broncos are 6 x 139.7mm.
