I do i have kelly safari m/t. 315-70r17. I really don't want to put spacers on I'm wondering how much of an offset I need for them to not rub if i buy new rims. I feel dumb because I should of done more research but thought they would fit because of this post.
+30 is a safe bet. 1" spacers will get you to that exactly.
You think spacers are safe as long as they are done correctly, can you reccomed any brand? Thanks for being helpful.
I haven't had any poor experiences with spacers and will use them as needed. Bora is a popular high quality spacer.
Well i really like the look of the big bend rims with the color i have. So I think I'll do a 1 - 1.25 inch spacer by bora then. Wheels aret gonna just fly off are they 🫨 my brother said since I'll permanently use the spacers we can use red loctite as extra security.
Well since the initial post got so much traction I figured I'd post again.
Today I put the tires on the Big Bend, to be clear I have a 2.3L bone stock with 3.73 rear end. Prior to installing the tires I've put roughly 2k miles on it.
I've noticed a subtle difference in preformance mainly off the line and shifting in sports mode. Other than that the car feels the same.
I decided to skip on the 1.5" KSP spacers just because there was 0 rubbing lock to lock, and the poke was a bit excessive.
Crash bars where removed, if you're running the stock front bumper all you need to do is pop the two front caps off near the fog lights. You'll see 3-bolts on each side (6-in total) you can just lossen them off and gently pull the bumper towards you enough to free the front crash bar.
In short I'm happy with the decision I really like the stock BB wheels and feel that all Broncos should have meatier tires on them.
Ok you are now a legend to me, I just got my bronco and was going back and forth and what to do. I have 2 questions for you so I can than do this to mine. Question 1, did you use the bfgoodwich ko2s, and did you have to change out your control arm when you added these tires.Well since the initial post got so much traction I figured I'd post again.
