Brooooo that looks beautiful!!!!!!

I think it looks good too. Just keep in mind there's a whole vocal contingent of folks on this site that think that anything more than 15" rims (17", we gotta live with), is a travesty and the forked sign of the snake. If you got skinny sidewalls, expect some mud flung at you. I'm here to tell you that's just fine.

I won't tell you what you should do, but I like 17's w/35's, however I can cheer anything someone put's their heart into. You do you, just keep in mind there's a lot more tire (and rim) options at 17" than 18/20/22/etc.

Thanks for the advice I want a beefy look but I don’t want to over do it and it seems like 17s may be the way to go with 35 inch tires. Unfortunately that would require a lift kit first but we will takcle that later lol

You don't need a lot, checkout this thread:

Do as little lift as you need and take your time. There's always tradeoffs, be aware of what they are/mean and decide when you're ready.

Hello Detroit Bronco buyer here and I just wanted to introduce Ecclesiastes aka Ivy to the group. Shes a 2022 OBYX with 30k miles that I got for 35k and had 1 previous owner. ...

What routine maintenance should I be looking forward to do? And what mods do you guys suggest??

Congrats and welcome. Your OBX looks like it was well-cared for and likely never ventured far from pavement. Those 30k miles are likely all highway miles and if I was to venture a guess the soft top on the previous owner's daily driver wore out it's welcome and they opted for a quiet cabin on their next vehicle.

I'm sure the dealer changed the oil, but likely didn't touch any of the other driveline fluids. For peace of mind, I would recommend that you go ahead and do that maintenance. @CarbonSteel has a terrific write-up on how-to perform the specific fluid changes.

Also, the air filter and cabin air filter should be changed.

Before you start entertaining a lift and tires, just drive it. Get a feel for your new Bronco. You may decide that it is perfectly fine stock without any modifications. Don't spend money based on other's opinions and use case.

You guys may hate me for saying this. I like the wheels I would just get better looking tires and a lift

I fully understand. Even ugly girls needed dates back in high school. They were cheap dates too.

I went with 315/70/17 at +18. (Nitto Recons, quiet ride when compared to the competition) I have OBX as well and I’m really happy with the amount of poke. I also put on a hood deflector (similar to this one https://tinyurl.com/broncohood) It's been great at deflecting rocks and to my eye it gives a little more aggressive look.

Did you do a lift or anything or did you just remove crash bars and throw it on? also do you think it will fit on my stock rims? I am ashamed to say I actually like my stock rims look lol

Thanks for the maintenance help I will definitely be using this!

Yes I bieleve the bronco was barely driven which is good. Also I was just talking to someone else on here about how i actually like my bronco stock lol. Like I really do like the rims I like how they shine and I like the color. When I was looking for broncos I had this whole list of mods but since I got it I like it so much I don’t want to bother it lol. I use to want racing stripes but now that I seen how perfect my green is I do t want to bother it at all! The only changes so far I know I want is I want the bronco letters to light up.

Welcome and nice ride! Since the rig has 30k on the clock, look into some drivetrain fluid services if not done already. Get the old gear oils out and some fresh fluids in. Look into the IAG soft top assist struts. They rock.

Mods? Mods are specific to use case. What do you want out of your rig? Just a daily cruiser? Wheeler? Figure out what you want to do and go from there. Plenty of lift options, wheels tires, skid plates, body armor, interior dress up crap, speakers. Sky's the limit.

BTW, the OBX wheels are fine. It's the stock all seasons that make it look less attractive.
