PIZZA CUTTERS ON STEELIES LOOK BESTLOOKS tells me go with 315/70/17 on a +30 offset wheel (FP Everglades)
LOGIC tells me go with a 285/70/17 on a +55 offset wheel (BD steelies)
The 33" tire is LOGICALLY a better tire for a 4.46 geared 2.3 7MT
What say you ??
OK, then I will say 1) 33s are fine, and 2) whatever you do, don't get anything stiffer than a "C" rating. (No "D" or "E"--or worse.) You'll notice a bumpier ride (not dramatically, but noticeably) while getting no benefit of stiffer tires for your use case.
The problem is 6th gear is geared wrong even for factory size tires, especially out west were we have 75 and 80 mph speed limits which means traffic is doing 85-90.
THIS !!
Thats pretty cool, and a low profile tire as well, these guys here will now run you outta townI put 32 on wifes badlands its has the looks and its was logical .Do to the fact she had knee problems.
Blasphemer!!! Get the pitchforks!Maybe I will LOWER it and put some 315/35/17's on it (GASP!!) and watch you guys lose your minds and explode
If you can make it work, and still get good suspension travel, That would actually be a win off road with a lower COG, as long as you can clear everything you need to... That is absolutely the goal when we build serious rock crawling buggys....Maybe I will LOWER it and put some 315/35/17's on it (GASP!!) and watch you guys lose your minds and explode
Oh wow. I imagine this setup reduces body roll as the expense of adding a bit of ride harshness? What are the fuel economy gains?I put 32 on wifes badlands its has the looks and its was logical .Do to the fact she had knee problems.
That's their claim but the Goodyears are definitely smaller and might not even measure 34". I have the KO2 37's and they aren't even 36" but the size/weight works for me. If the OP is looking to go with +30 offset wheels, then looking for a set of Sas takeoff wheels/tires that have sensors in them can probably save quite a bit of money. Just know that the 2025 Bronco TPMS sensors run a different frequency than the 21-24 so make sure you know what vehicle any tires/wheels/sensors came off of.
Split the difference. Get 285/75 R17 on the BD steelies. That gives you a 34 (33.9) inch tire with plenty of sidewall but should be less drag than the 315s.So.......the age old tire size dilemma.......did you go strictly LOOKS or did you choose LOGIC??
For my 2025 Base 7MT -
LOOKS tells me go with 315/70/17 on a +30 offset wheel (FP Everglades)
LOGIC tells me go with a 285/70/17 on a +55 offset wheel (BD steelies)
The 33" tire is LOGICALLY a better tire for a 4.46 geared 2.3 7MT
BUT the 35" tire LOOKS really good and I know I will give up not only MPG but acceleration as well.
What say you ??
Nice !! Looks goodSplit the difference. Get 285/75 R17 on the BD steelies. That gives you a 34 (33.9) inch tire with plenty of sidewall but should be less drag than the 315s.
..... ️AND.....I have a set of like new BD steelies just waiting for tires 
What tires you running? Those are load D or E ??Split the difference. Get 285/75 R17 on the BD steelies. That gives you a 34 (33.9) inch tire with plenty of sidewall but should be less drag than the 315s.
