Will these wheels fit (need quick answers)

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Hello friends!

I'm a Jeep guy, so I'm coming here with a Bronco question. My best friend is looking to By wheels and tires for his wife's 21 Bronco. He found a set online, but they are 15 inch wheels. The owner claims they came off a 23 Bronco, and given the lug spacing, I am inclined to agree that they will fit, since there's not many other vehicle with THAT lug spacing.

With that said, buddy is looking g to buy these tomorrow and I'm trying to ensure that he's not throwing away his money. Here's the wheel specs. Will they fit a 21 Bronco for a DD?

Highly doubt they'll fit. It is the smartphone age, though, so maybe the seller has pics of them on a Bronco.

Maybe they came off of a bronco sport
(shrug )certainly not the full size bronco. I'm getting a scam vibe.. lot of that going around.

Normally with such a small diameter wheel, the concern is clearance of the brakes. But with the -43 offset, that might not be a problem.

It is going to look like hell though.

No, 15" wheels won't clear the brakes, you need 16" or preferably 17" or bigger. The -43 offset also sticks out way too far, look for something in the -6 to 30mm offset.

i'd steer clear of that set.

These are the rims:

Seems confusing, I guess they mean they're taking them off a Bronco 6g (?) they were put on? I don't know any model that came with those factory. I guess maybe they came off a Bronco Sport (non-Bronco people like to confuse the two). They seem like pretty small rims to me.

Y'know what? If you do an image search for "Ford Bronco Fuel Revolver", a bunch of classic 70's Broncos show up. So YMMV.

Tha k you all for your assistance. After sending my buddy this thread, he elected to pass on the wheels, and I belive that was a good decision.

I told him that even if the wheels fit, that amount of offset would be less than kind to his suspension and steering components.

What if you use spacers?
