I’m loving the look of the 245/65R17 tires on the BB (with standard suspension)! I have seen various reports of no rubbing (thanks for sharing!), but I’m wondering if anyone has put a BB with that tire size through its paces off road yet.
Without the confidence that it won’t rub while doing...
Mine was built 12/23 and delivered 1/7 to the Seattle area. Just over two weeks seems to be the average from built to delivered. Being in TX, I imagine you'd see yours in a similar timeframe.
My concern exactly - thanks for articulating better than I did. I am torn between 235 and 245.
As of now I am of the mind to go with the 235s until I can find some confirmation that 245s on a BB are fine when you are off road.
Slightly unrelated - how did you redeem your points for accessories? I am hoping to use mine to go towards some Thule crossbars. I don't see a way on the Ford accessories site to redeem. Did you do it at the dealership in person?
Edit: Just saw your message on calling the parts department...
So the width of the tire from 225 to 245 affects the circumference?
The factory option on the BB are 225/65/17, so a 245/65/17 should theoretically be the same circumference if the aspect ratio and diameter are the same, no? Maybe I need a tire size for dummies explanation or at least a...
I feel a little dumb following up with the rubbing question, but since this is exactly what I am hoping to do.....
...still no rubbing even when you are turned all the way over? This looks awesome!
It shouldn't effect the speedometer since the only thing being changed from the factory tires is the width, right? The aspect ratio and diameter of the tire are the same as the factory tires. Or am I wrong?
It would be cool to see what everyone is coming up with for the roofs of their Broncos!
Personally, I am considering the Ford on-road crossbars with either the Yakima medium Load Warrior basket or the Yakima OffGrid basket. Anyone know if the OffGrid would work?
Looking forward to seeing these...
Any chance anyone can point out the difference between the on vs off-road cross bars? From the photos on Ford’s parts site, they look essentially the same. I had ordered crossbars for my BB+BB but it was delivered without them as it appears to be the case with many others.
If anyone has photos...
