Swap standard Badlands wheels with the optional bead lock capable wheels. Will they fit ?

[70Bronco]

Morning Bronco6G,

I HAD a 2022 Badlands (2-door, 7MT, Non-SAS) with the optional bead lock capable wheels. Unfortunately, it was totaled in June due to a deer strike. I've ordered a 2026 Badlands (2-door, 7MT, non-SAS). I've already received a VIN and it has a tentative build week of 7 September. My question is can I install and run the 2021-2024 Badlands optional bead lock capable wheels on the 2026 Badlands with no issue ? I really don't need the bead lock feature, I just like the way they look. The Ford Accessories website says they will fit

I know the bead lock capable wheels are 17 x 8.0 with a 55mm offset. The standard wheels on the 2026 Badlands are 17 x 8.5. I'm not sure of the offset but believe it is 35mm.

For 2026 Badlands non sas ford went to a 40mm offset so they work/look better with the wider SAS fender flares

Yes, only issue you may see is that '26 Badlands gets wider flares and offset, so it might look a bit "tucked"
