Last week I was able to pick up a set of brand new wheels and tires from and Bandlands, loaded all five up in the back of my 2 door Outer Banks, took them to Discount tire and swapped the set. Wheels and Tires ran $1200, mount, balance, swap tpms and install was an extra $250.

Very happy with the outcome, it was the only feature of my new Bronco I wasn't crazy about. But now I love the still stock look, and better profile of the wheels and tires, some photos attached as well as a shot of how to get 5 33" tires in the back. Hint, take off the roof.

Lastly picked up a nice spare cover that so far am very happy with.

The original set up


Three tires across the back of the drivers seat with the seats folded down, one tire against the tailgate and one on the tire carrier on the back. Had to slide the passenger seat all the way forward, scoot one up there and then angled the other two under the roll bar before moving the passenger seat back. If you're driving far a couple good straps will be needed

Did the same thing when I found a good deal on a set of take offs. Love these wheels, and luckily there are a good amount out there from people going aftermarket. Getting rid of my stock BB wheels was a pain in the butt tho

Looks great! I have an OBX non SAS too. The stock tires were definitely a weak point appearance wise. They took everything in stride no matter what I threw at them but I couldn't get over the look.

that does look great - I like my Badlands wheels but wish they were 35s (really for clearance purposes only). If anyone is interested in them in the Houston area, I might be willing to part with them (if I can find a decent set of SAS takeoffs to trade them with).

Looks great! I went a different route and kept the 18" OB wheels and went with the 275/70-18 GoodYear Territory MT that are 33", for $1175 for the five. I ordered the Advanced 4x4 which substitutes the 3.73 axle ratio to a 4.27 with rear locker, so was not an issue with the 1" taller 275/70 tires. I sold the 5 "car tires" tosomeone who was looking for a set for their Tacoma 4x2 for $425.

I like my Badlands SAS wheels and tires but wish Ford wouldโ€™ve offered a few color choices. Also wish they were true 35โ€™s, no offset on the wheels so I installed a set of Spidertrax. Looks so much better.

I got a set of 5 sas wheels (off a wildtrak with the black trim ring) so I can turn them into bead-locks for off-roading. I might have too many spare parts sitting around my garage LOL
