Nice post and good looking wheels. However, when you click the link and enter specs for Ford Bronco Sport it only takes you to a page that says these wheels do not fit Bronco Sport. Might be too early to actually shop them on the website.
I have read and seen things suggesting lower pressure when going with bigger tires. However I also agree with staying within 33-35 the TPMS doesn’t know you have different tires and being at 28 could result in TPMS alerts that aren’t needed.
There is also a different spare cover correct? It sits higher to accommodate the larger tire? I think it even “loses storage” I think badlands is listed at 3 cu. ft. Less cargo room because the taller spare cover. Hope someone can confirm that
I have 235/65/18, 1.5” ready lift, crossbars, roof light bar, front nudge bar. Not sure if any one specific or combination together has been what’s effected my mpg. When I do the math on mileage I’m usually around 21mpg.
If I had to guess 235/65/17. I believe that was the optional upgrade on First Edition. But also based on date of article, it could also be computer generated and not be a true depiction of how those tires look in real life.
245/65/18 will limit your choices. Not all manufacturers will have that dimension, from the last time I looked. I’ve seen a handful of peeps post 235/60/18 and been satisfied. It is a 29” tire. I went with 235/65/18 after chatting with the folks at @Discount Tire went with Toyo Open Country AT3...
I changed mine at 700 miles. Discount offered me $200 credit. I took it, it was more than I expected and I didn’t have to deal with trying to sell an 18” tire
I run 235/65/18 listed as 30”. 7,000 miles 1 rotation, asked for more inspection of rubbing, none found. I would love to go bigger but not at expense of rubbing or trimming.
No snow down on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Driven on soft sand regularly and done well. Hardly use sand mode and no issues. Minor off roading including some freshly rained muddy spots and still no issues. No rubbing for me but I’m not pushing the limits of the Bronco either.
