So what do you think ? Originally designed to accent the Ford AC Cobra's with an additional three blade Faux-knockoff, I DO believe these would look most excellent on a Bronco Sport....... and in my case, a 2023 Big Bend w/1.5 three cylinder turbo.
The catch ? Well I have tried t research the Bronco Sports wheel backspacing and have come up short. My Daughter the Service manager of our local dealer has come up blank, although it was only a cursury search and having spent time visiting Her in Her office I am aware of how busy she can get. So I never pushed it trying to retrieve the info I was looking for.
This I am sure of.... the Bronco sport is a 17" wheel and some are 18", but mine happens to be 17"
Additional info sourced on a quick search brought this to light:
"The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport has a 5x108 bolt pattern and comes with 17-inch or 18-inch wheels, depending on the trim level and year model. The most popular size for off-road builds is 17 inches, while 18 inches is popular for street setups. For the best wheel fitment, a 38mm–45mm offset".
ALSO.....
The 5x108 bolt pattern is common on many Ford vehicles, including the Escape, Bronco Sport, C-Max, Edge, Focus, Fusion, and Transit Connect. It's also common on Lincoln vehicles, including the MKC, Nautilus, Continental, and Corsair....Thus the common Ford and Chrysler 5 on 4 1/2 bolt patern. So that part is taken care of. Next the width and most importantly the offset..!! Also to be considered is.. Center Bore / Hub Bore: 63.4 mm.
Size: 17" x 7" and the optional 17” x 8”
- Lugs: 5 x 4.5” on both
- Finish: Gold Haze with Machined Lip, though some are light or dark gray
- Backspacing: 4.25" / 4.75”
- Weight: 20 lbs
- Offset: 6.9mm / 1mm
- Center Cap: Included
This is the information I retrieved from 'C J Pony parts' a sourse for primarily Mustang parts....
This is some help trying to visualize the wheel offsets.

Frankly friends, I plead 'Blond', at least it was..... once. Any comments and detective work would be grealy appreciated in determining fittment. I suspect you can see this would be a nice addition to an already pleasing Bonco Sport. I am fairly sure Legendary has The Wheel that would fit, it's the particulars that escape me for now.
If I found a fittment proper for the Bronco Sport, I would be making an order immediatly.
For those suggesting contacting Legendary or CJ Pony parts..... I have sent off emails multiple times with no responses or replies..
yea, and for those astute readers, I did make a correction on bolt patern in the 5th paragraph....4 1/4 to a corrected 4 1/2.
So yea, if anyone can help here on fittment .....? AND How do you think they would look ?
