Thanks for the before and after shot! I ordered my Titan 1" spacers and they arrive tomorrow. They were on sale. :) Discount Tire will be installing them Saturday with no problems. The rims ordered from Discount Tire I wanted to have more of a negative offset since I too have the Bushwacker flares. I'd rather have the wheels stick out some, rather than in. I'll try and post my pictures too once done.
Just to be clear, you would want a lower offset number (stock is 38mm) if you want the wheels to stick out further. Adding a 20mm spacer takes the stock wheel down to 18mm offset.

Is that a stock Badlands suspension? Spacers?

I am about to take delivery of a 2024 Badlands. I did NOT buy the upgraded tires. I would like to keep the suspension the same, but add spacers that push the wheels to the fenders - maybe just a tick outside.

It sound like a 25mm spacer will accomplish this? What size tire can I then put on with no rubbing - 245/65/17? Has anyone tried a 245/70/17 setup? I will likely go with the Wildpeaks.

Thanks!

Thanks! I also just looked and the speedo error is almost 5mph off. Thinking 235/65/17 might be the way to go. If I push the tire to the fender, it will accomplish what I am trying to do anyway. Speed error, with that size, appears to be just over 1mph off - no big deal.

So, is it a 20mm, or 25mm, spacer that I should focus on? Thanks again!

You might be better off with 235/70/17 with no lift and no spacer. Check my posts the , tires I used are exactly 30 inch Goodyear wrangler workhorse.

I thought I read they will rub in that size? Or, was it 245/70/17 that rub? Also, how much is your speedo off? Got any close up photos? THANKS!

Yes it is the 245/70/17 that might rub , that 10 mm does the trick.Maybe 2/3 mph at 60mph . Not an issue for myself. I have clearance of my pinky , is it close hell yes but rides and looks perfect for me , I like the full wheel well look . Check out my other pictures for a better look see . That Goodyear is a few lbs lighter than the ko2 and I think only a couple lbs more than my stock 235/65/17 wildpecks .A lot of people are using 245/65/17 wildpecks , I think the true size on them are 29 1/4 and my Goodyear workhorse are a actual 30 inch tall . Enjoy the picture below is a 2025 bronco sport that is proposed . Notice it also is a Goodyear and it appears to be a 30 inch .not fact just my thoughts.
