Hi, Has anyone installed either of these options on their modular front bumper?
Fishbone
Kentrol
Looking for reviews on which is better (and why) and any pics to see how it looks on a real Bronco.
Thanks!
Hi @Rustytuna - Did you get your 265/75R16 installed on your Base 16x7 stock rims? Any issues with size/rubbing? What about speedometer? Did dealer re-calibrate successfully? My dealer said they didn't think it could be done. Also, if you can, please post pictures! Thanks
@TJ1007 - Looks awesome! Did your dealer buy it for yours personally or for all Broncos moving forward? Which one is it? Is it by Kentrol? Can you please send a pic from behind how it mounts? Thanks!
Looks awesome! Thanks for update!
A few questions when you have time...
1.) Did you keep same wheel size (17x7.5)
2.) Are the tires the BFG 116/113Q?
3.) Did you add any lift?
4.) Any rubbing or clearance issues on suspension with wider tire?
5.) Is gearing a concern?
Please let us know about...
That is a great design!
1.) How did you attach it to the bumper? Did you just drill 2 holes in the bumper and use 2 bolts/nuts/washers?
2.) How did you prep the holes to prevent future rust? Just paint the bumper after drilling?
3.) Please post any 'before' and during mounting pics if you...
Hi - I wanted to mount same tires, however, is there any concern with the weight of the bigger tire on the rim (75 lbs.) total? The Black Diamond 32" stock wheel/tire combo is only 63 lbs. Is this a concern? I heard this may affect the ride. Thoughts?
So if most stock OEM wheels like Base and BD have an offset of +55, is it a safe assumption to say that you can pretty much mount up to a 33" tire on these trims (Base and BD) with wheels ranging from 17x7.5 - 17x8.5 (as long as the offset is around +55)? Seems like the key figure now is the...
Great! Thanks! Looks great!
1.) As far as the powder coating... What does it generally run per tire?
2.) Do you recommend getting speedometer recalibrated? Easy to do?
3.) Any concerns with gears running bigger tires as far as overall performance?
4.) Any concerns running these tires on rims...
Very cool! Is this the base model with the Black Diamond (Black) 17 x7.5 rims? I was looking to see if 265/75R16 fit on the stock polished 16x7 rims. I want to keep the 16x7 polished and put on 265/75R16. Thanks!
So if someone successfully installed 285/70R17 on a BB, would adding the same tire size to a BD be successful? The tires require a minimum 7.5" wheel so both trims are covered.
Since they have same suspension...
1.) Would the only thing needed be a speedo calibration?
2.) Would the gearing...
I am planning on ordering a Base with Sasquatch package and was planning on switching the wheels. The current stock is 315/70R17 on 17x8.5.
When I order new wheels, is it best to purchase wheels that are still 17x8.5 to stay as close to the stock as possible or is purchasing 17x9 wheels better...
Are you planning (or have you) installed 265/75R16 on your Base Base Model with stock 16x7 wheels?
I am curious about the following if you can please share (just 265/75R16 on stock 16x7):
Which tire brand did you install?
Was their any interference/rubbing?
How is it running with new...
