Guys-
Not knowledgeable about cars so hoping someone can provide an answer to this question.
I found an older wheel that I am thinking of trying and not sure what else I need to know in order to confirm it will fit - specs are:

17 x 7.5
Offset +31
Bolt pattern: 6-5.5 (also listed on Ebay as 6-139.7)

I have a Badlands so OEM wheel is 17x8 and tires are 285-70-17

Will it fit or do I need to know more?
Thanks, appreciate any help

Depends on tires- I think you stock will be just fine

so this is the wheel I was thinking of but if I am understanding it correctly, it won't work because the center bore does not match
anyone able to confirm that? Thanks for continued feedback

Yeah the 77.8 center bore on the wheel you linked is smaller than the Bronco 93.1 bore. Unless they offer larger. You can go larger than 93.1 if an adapter ring is available.

Also at 38lbs the wheel seems a bit on the heavy size. But maybe that aspect is ok if you're looking for something heavy duty.

Thank you for this explanation - so if I found a wheel with a 106.1 you think they can be fitted if all other specs are in line? I am going to reach out to a wheel company but would love to know your thoughts on that given you said you can sometimes go with a larger bore using an adapter thanks
