Hey guys,

Trying to upgrade my tires to all terrains but keep my stock wheels and stock ride height. I have the 17 inch wheels that come on the big bend model.

What's the biggest size all terrain tires I can stuff on the stock wheels without rubbing and turning the wheel lock to lock?

Probably 235/65R17s, but even then I'd imagine that they could get all gaumed up with mud or snow in the fender wells. I stuck with 225/65R17s, at least until a lift kit I trust comes along. Even with a lift, though, 245/65R17 is gonna be the limit unless you want to start doing some trimming.

Do you have some pictures? I'd like to see the stock tire size with all terrains.

Thanks for the info by the way.

Those are same exact tires I bought. Appointment for Wednesday to get them on. Nice to see a pre-view.

I am waiting as others are to maybe do a lift, wheel/tire changes, etc. My tread change will definitely change my BB’s behavior for now but I am not buying anything ‘new’, especially when it comes to suspension.

These tires are fantastic in rain and snow. I haven't had a chance to get them dirty yet, but I presume they're going to be a great compromise between getting to the backroads and getting to the trail.

The traction of the wildpeaks in dirt is fantastic. I‘ve driven through loose trails in Joshua tree and Sedona and the Bronco has been impressive with them. So good on normal mode that I question whether I will ever get to try any goat modes!

Ignore the bag on the mirror, I'm still at daily war with a Robin who wants to fight his reflection.

That bag is a great idea. I am on my second season trying to reason with a female cardinal. She goes at it the minute I pull up.

These are a bit pricey for what they are, but they're waterproof and cinch closed. I still deal with the occasional bomb, but I'm not cleaning a poop massacre off of my car three times a day anymore, and I'm not constantly throwing out shredded plastic bags.

This is my position now exactly...
