New Bronco Badlands owner!

Just got a BS Badlands and was wondering if I would be ok putting Toyo AT3 245/70/17 without a lift?

Welcome to the group and in a word —no. 245/65/17 and down. Search the site and you’ll find a wealth of tire size info including the mods folks have made to fit larger tires, many good ideas and some not so much, some pretty easy and some not for the faint of heart.

I've had 245/65's on two BL's in both Wildpeaks and KO2's with no rub. When I turn my wheels and observe, it's really close. I would be afraid to go with 245/70. Lots of people running the 245/65's with no issues.

Awesome appreciate the response so definitely need a little lift if I wanted to run 245/70

A lift won't help, unless you intend to lift so high the tires are completely clear of the wheel well. I'm not aware of any lift kits beyond two inches or so for the Bronco Sport, which will not be enough. When the suspension is fully compressed the tire will be in the wheel well.

I believe @Jrl has installed 235/70R17 tires without interference, but I don't think anyone has made a 245/70R17 fit without making modifications to the pinch welds in the wheel well.
