what wheels you have on your 2 door
Where did you find the KMC Roswell‘s??? I was told they were discontinued and there were virtually none remaining in the US…..MT Baja Boss AT 35x12.5r17
Bought them last year well before I got my build 1/22. I saw them used on a ‘21 SEMA build (but custom painted Wimbledon White) I had hell of time sourcing (5) even then.Where did you find the KMC Roswell‘s??? I was told they were discontinued and there were virtually none remaining in the US…..
BoomIm hoping someone will upgrade their tires on a stock OBX. The wheels may look a lot nicer with some proper Off-road rubbers.
Thank you, much appreciated!Bought them last year well before I got my build 1/22. I saw them used on a ‘21 SEMA build (but custom painted Wimbledon White) I had hell of time sourcing (5) even then.
You may still be able to find them in that Titanium color and get them painted.
Big change in the look! Very nice.Boom
One of the nicest builds yet. Classic, clean. Not built like a prop from a MadMax movie. Great job.Wheels & Tires Upgrade:
Bronco: 2022 Outer Banks 2.3 (2 door) non-SAS, non-lift
Goal: upgrade wheels & tires w/out modification; fender melts, crash bar removal, lifts etc. my preference for poke was no more than 1 in. i wanted a slightly aggressive stance.
Scope: i wanted to get that retro/baja look and i believe the wheels would have made a big impact visually, however American Racing, Cragar, ProComp etc did not offer the offset needed for my preference.
Upgrade Details:
Tire From: Stock 255/70R18 Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S (All-Terrain A/T Tires)
Tire To: 285/70R17 BFG All Terrain T/A KO2 - Solid White Letter, Load C.
Wheel From: Stock 18 x 7.5 = 55mm offset/6.42" backspace
Wheel To: Method Racing 703's Black 17 x 8.5 +35mm offset/6.2" backspace
Additional Notes/Lesson's Learned/Feedback:
-MPG does not appear to have changed at all, I drive 80/20 - 80% of the time in eco.
-Ride seems softer to me, it's likely b/c the Load C but IMO it rides better than stock.
-Tire Noise is only noticeable when windows are down, it''s very slight but these are KO2's....
-Method Wheels are lug centric w/bore at 106.25. The Bronco's bore is 93.1, While hub rings may not be necessary, it's my preference to use them to reduce risk of vibration at higher speeds. b/c Methods are 106.25, hub rings with spec of 106 did not work, there was still some play in fitting which rendered them useless. I had to order custom hub rings, 106.25 to 93.1. They will be delivered in a few weeks. Also, Method recommends ET lug nuts, this will assist in getting them mounted correctly . IMO, correct sized hub rings paired with ET lugs will reduce risk of any vibration at high speeds and the cost of investment is minimal. This is a preference only and from my understanding hub rings and ET lugs are not necessary.
Feedback to Method:
Product - if you're going to charge premium pricing for wheels, I suggest painting the inside of the wheel bores... Note: I'm not using the center caps as preference so I had to paint the inside of the bore. No big deal.
Service - OUTSTANDING. I called them three times over the last few months, and they answered the phone right away, and each person I talked to was highly knowledgeable in product and best practice.
Last, I would like to thank Alex @RealTruck for the group buy offer on the Methods. Alex was FAST in response & communication, highly knowledgeable in product AND Bronco's, and delivery from @RealTruck was fast and spot on. Highly recommended.
Here is what the poke looks like, it's about 3/4 in which is exactly what I was looking for.
37’s on a 2DR look great! Hope to get mine installed this week….Did 37x12.5x17 Cooper stt pro on stock sasquatch wheels w/beadlock rings. I really like the sas wheels! BFGs still on backorder
That's awesome! Did you add a lift or does the sasquatch work just fine? Any rubbing?Did 37x12.5x17 Cooper stt pro on stock sasquatch wheels w/beadlock rings. I really like the sas wheels! BFGs still on backorder
