We could start a chill skinny tire Bronco club. Call it:

Upper Body Broncos
" We skip leg days"

I may join that club in the future, keep us posted. Lol.

35x11.5x17 is a much better option for a 7.5" wheel. A 315 is just too wide for that wheel. Yeah people run them. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Another option would be the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss in 255/85-17. Not quite a 35 but fills out the wheel well quite nicely.

The Mickey T's above (255/85R17) have a 34.6" diameter. While not a true "35", it is rare to find tires that are true to spec. Also, don't mention to Sasquatch owners that this tire is taller than the GoodYear(s).

From back before the MY'21 B&P went live and we had nothing to do but speculate on builds, I coined the term #SkinnySquatch.

Ya, I see peeps wanting more "poke".

I’d like the same, but the 7.5” width is really too narrow. I like the steelies too. I’ve looked around for similar wheels, but haven’t found any. The hot rod crowd has wheel specialists that can weld a wider rim on the wheel face. Not sure it’s worth it, but I’d like to know if you find anything.

Try Detroit steel wheels they make custom sizes of steelies.

Hello forum,

I'd like to achieve a more utilitarian look for my build. Came across a perfect example of what I had in mind. Want to suck the tires in more and steel wheels.

• The example bronco is a Black Diamond with a 2” level kit and 315/70/17 Nitto trail Grapplers on stock steel wheels
• My rig is a Badlands with the Sasquatch package

Question: Can I put this exact wheel and tire combo on my rig to achieve the same look? Does anyone know any reason why there would be a problem?

Thank you in advance!

Does this orange Black Diamond have any lift? Looks sweet!

I want to know where you got the wheel stop for the garage floor?

Well here they are!

Search Rubber Wheel Stops on Amazon. All different sizes. I don’t bolt it down. It’s heavy and stops the car just fine.

If you are looking to tuck the wheels in and want to maintain height, then you'll need to sacrifice the width of the tire. As was mentioned above, the BD steel wheels have a 7.5" wide rim. You might want to consider a 255/85R17.

Count me in on the "Skinny Tire Bronco Club". I will hopefully have a non-sas Badlands coming soon.

Ideally I would like to get the stock BD 17' rims (7.5" wide) steelies with the The Mickey T's (255/85R17). That is a 34.6" diameter.

Will they rub on a non-sas Badlands? If so, any other wheel/tire combinations without having to do a lift?

Thanks

(I saw the cyber orange pictured in this thread in a different thread. My understanding is that is has a 1" lift. It belongs to @ChompSticks so he can confirm.)

With the Badlands suspension, you may be clear. You'll have to remove the crash bars. @ChompSticks has a BD. I don't know what suspension they are running now.

I had this thought exactly when I placed my order!! I would LOVE those steelies on my non-squatch badlands. I fully intend on taking those ugly jeep wheels off first thing, and mounting my 285 stock ko2's to the black steelies! Then I'll sell the badlands wheels to someone to cover the cost.

I haven't found one picture on Google of the steelies on a BL... BET IT WILL LOOK AWESOME!

You mean give the Badlands wheels away for the cost of shipping to free up room in your shed.
Actually, I kept mine with the long term plan of painting them Carbonized Grey for a set of winter shoes. For now I’m keeping the Carbonized Grey Silverado for that purpose

 

[Jimmyleetennessee]

I kept mine as well, sure love the way she looks though!
