Sorry for the delayed response. My understanding is that 245s with 20 mm wheel spacers will rub, so I stayed at 235s.
My understanding is if you want to avoid damage, you have the option of 235's with spacers or 245's without.
I love the look of the 245's. But especially with the...
Hey, sorry for the delay, no I didn't. It was super easy. I've been driving on them now for almost 2 years and have had no problems.
I just purchased the Falken Wildpeak AT4W 235/65R17's to replace my aging AT3W 235/65R17's and they are also working great, with abit more rugged appearance.

Like I eluded to before, I'm a automotive noob. But I do shred information (more knowledget than practical experience). I've learned alot about vehicles, motors, electical systems, off roading, road handling, MPG, etc from this site and from the links everyone posts...
Yeah, the Falken Wildpeak AT4's are 39 lbs. The AT3's are 31 lbs.
Sorry to hear about the balancing issue, that is odd.
But when you said meatier tires, you pretty much sealed the deal at 245's.
Happy Trails Brother...

Hey jeremylj1972:
First Welcome to the Forum, (short of Jeep Forums) this is the best automotive "brotherhood" I've seen (and we're getting better, I wave every time I see a Bronco Sport, most don't wave back).
Anyway, I'm going to play abit of devil's advocate (mainly because I'm looking at...
Bluebaru and Mark S.:
Thanks for the video/information share! Loved that guys video. Always amazes me at how much thought goes into pretty much everything in the world (I remember watch road construction on the history channel and being blown away by the thought that goes into guardrails).
One...
BS'ers:
For those running on 235/70/17's, are you running with the 1" spacer? If so, does that alter ther rubbing factor (would think yes as I'm on 235/65/17 with the Falken Wildpeaks and almost rub).
Much thanks for any/all information.

Hey, I have a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands. I believe it is still like this, but when you order you had the option of the stock 225/65/R17 or upgrading to the 235/65/R17's. These are Falken Wildpeak A/T3W and come on the vehicle when upgraded (though despite advertising that you...
Rhel:
Thanks for the video. I'm super jelly of your location, I'm in Texas and it is hot, flat, and largely treeless where i live.... so hoping to move in a year or two.
Anyway, I appreciate the video, can you do something similar, but with the wheel fully cranked right (max turn, think...
The tires look great, and I'm so Jelly about Wyoming (Texas is getting hot already feels like a Sauna outside).
Any rubbing concerns with the 70's? From what I recall I think Others said they were fine, but my 65's on 1" spacers almost rub. My tires (235/65/R17 Falken's) are practically new...
Tigger:
Thanks for that! The 1.25" Spacer may be my next purchase...(cause for some reason the Credit Card company keeps handing me rope to hang myself with).
To "Dude's" Post, I haven't tried the test (not really very scientific) at full lock over ruts (would think I could simulate with a...
BS'ers:
There have been a ton of conversations on this issue (not saying this isn't a good post/topic, just that this has been covered alot by some truly incredible people who have shared their experiences. Checkout Meanderthal's Posts pertaining to Olive).
I've got a 23 Bronco Sport...
MykindofBS/DeadlySpaceman:
They do look great on your ride, very aggressive. Do you have spacers?
I know its a expense you likely don't need, but I LOVE this lift:

It definitely changes the ride height and...
Mark917: I think you summed it up pretty much right. I just got my lift with a 25mm spacer. I'm on the stock rims for a badlands, but I'm still on my 235/65/17, I don't believe I'm encountering problems now.
Meanderthal is the man with the plan here...

Bamsi:
Apologies for the long delay. I purchased from Titan Wheel Accessories. Link is in the back and forth above. Here is their website: https://www.titanwheelaccessories.com/pages/about-us.
They appear to be American owned/operated and I can't imagine they don't manufacture...
Alright, figured I would share my before and after pics.
Here's my pony with 25 mm Titan Wheel Spacers that I referenced above:
Bad camera work, but I think you can see that the tire protrudes abit now where as before it was about an inch in. The overall look is much more aggressive.
For...
Team:
My car came from the dealership with N2 Tire Valve Caps. From what I can tell this just informs someone that the Tire contains N2 Nitrogen?
Is there any benefit to going with these caps over any other cap on the market?
Wouldn't think so, but figured I'd ask the obviously stupid...
Mark S.:
What an excellent write up man, that made so much sense and was easily approachable as a noob. You should collaborate with Meanderthal and a few others to write a beginners book (serious on that). I can help with tons of stupid questions...
