Didn’t notice much increase in road noise. I didn’t drive the thing more than 15 miles before putting the tires on so I don’t know to be honest. It’s definitely quiet though.

Biggest noise I’ve been dealing with is my cross bars I installed, they are extremely loud
Which crossbars do you have?
I'm deciding which to get, Ford OEM off-road or Thule.

These tires look great. They are [email protected] they rub at all? Did you notice any power lost or fuel economy? These are what will be going on mine when it ever gets here. Lol

I'm betting they're ALL loud up there, to an extent. I've driven 2 mannequins so far with racks and stuff up there, what a racket! Some sort of cowl attached might help? I would take it all off anytime I didn't need it up there, it's that loud. Great to have when you need it though, but I'd keep it in the garage until called for.

Hey all,
I’m new here. Last weekend I decided randomly to throw down and grab a Bronco Sport as a adventure family wagon so this is my first post.

Perhaps I didn’t do enough searching but I couldn’t find anyone with the OEM 18” wheels putting larger tires on. I obviously knew the 245/65R17 tires fit but an 18 alternative was what I needed. I just got some Falken Wildpeak Trails and they fit great! A bit wider and taller than the 225s that came on it.

pics below, there’s more to come on my build
This is also my first forum post so bare with me if the pics come through poorly

Correct, no lift in this picture. I do have a 1.5” lift on the car now though. See below

Please please please take off the sway bar end links from the rough country kit. Both mine and another forum members have snapped. One of my brackets fully snapped off and the other bent.

you can put the oem ford links back in safely and the car handles better. If you don’t take them off make sure you are on road or have a good off ride recovery/tow truck.

do you notice a very stiff ride and rattling/bouncing over bumps now?

Those look great. I wonder if the well could be filled up a bit more. Mine is coming in a couple weeks and I’m going to try and fit new tires also. I’m not a big fan of the giant wheels poking but I think a bit more tire and a bit more poke would look killer. You think a 1” spacer would work?

I know some people have done spacers I held off because I have broken hub bearings running spacers off-road and who knows when spare parts with be easy to get for these cars.

With the 1.5” lift I know a lot of people are going to 265s.

Do you think you could have gone any bigger in the tires?

Thanks just picked up my 2022 OBX w/225 60 18 tires and was wondering how much bigger I could go without rubbing or having any suspension issues

All these look great. I'm wondering though, and I know I'm pushing it, but would 255/65/r18 fit with no rubbing (not taking it off road). I just love how wide tires make a vehicle look from behind.
Would 255 even fit on the rim itself?
