235/75/17 ??

[Wrcklsmestiso619]

Hi everyone! After doing tons of research and I have not seen anywhere about 235/75/17 fitting on a bronco sport big bend with no lift…I see tons of 245/75/17 and 235/65/17 but what I am seeing is the width being a issue when going bigger but the 235/75/17 is taller by about 1/2” and more narrow when compared to the 245/75/17. Anyone have insight on this? Thanks!

Tire diameter will likely be the biggest issue. The space from the front to the rear of the car's wheel wells will be the limiting factor.

235/75/17 is pretty much a 31" diameter tire.
With the Sport more often than not any tire that is 30 inches in diameter or larger will rub in certain situations.
I have 245/65/17's on my Badlands, the fronts will just kiss the wheel well liner at full steering lock and suspension fully compressed.

But the Bad Lands sit higher than the Big Bend so he would have more rubbing problems than you No?

The Badlands has 1/2" taller springs, but suspension travel is unchanged. In other words, with the suspension fully compressed the wheels will be at the same height in relation to the wheel well no matter what trim you have.

It’s not the lift that provides additional clearance, it’s the sawzall! The issue of clearance is the pinch weld which is in lateral area, not the vertical area.
