Let's Talk Aftermarket Wheels

Figured we could share wheel choices on our Broncs while we all wait. What are you rolling on your new Bronc?

I am typically not a huge fan of black wheels, however, I think the beadlock capable options on the Bronc don't look too bad. However, I am going Badlands 2 dr and have considered skipping the Squatch and going with an AM wheel/35" tire combo to personalize my Bronc a little.

I like the Method wheels below as they have that classic look that might stand out with so many off-road rigs having black wheels. :cool:

I’m still a fan of white or black. Chrome/steel never appealed to me.

I too am going for a old school chrome feel. I've done a somewhat exhaustive search for wheels in this realm that have 0 to positive offsets, with the appropriate lug pattern. This is what I've come up with so far. I still need to narrow down my choice, but i'm hoping to hear more about potential rubbing issues with dropping the offset from my squatch'd +30s. I'd prefer not to have to cut or remove the crash bars, but it seems most aftermarket wheels are around 0 offset or negative.

Very nice @Bonnie6G, you've been busy with some excellent research! Getting the right offset is a concern for me as well, don't want to rub but also not a fan of the tire sitting way outside the fender.

Agreed. I think the 0 offset that is on the overlanding concept rig is as far as I’m willing to go and I had heard somewhere there were some rubbing issues with it, but it didn’t have the squatch lift. Of course all the wheels I like best are 0 offset.....

I’m also curious about the hubs on the bronco. Will likely need a spacer to make sure the wheel is hub centric vs lug centric. I wonder what the stock wheels are.

I noticed Method now has the 21 Bronco listed in their fitment guide so that is a good sign we should be seeing more vendors doing similar.

Excellent choice! They also have a white old school steelie look wheel that would look sweet on the Bronc...especially with a white top! (y)

Anyone thinking about going with beadlocks? I am toying with the idea of having a second set of wheels/tires if I don't add Squatch to my BL. Keep the stock wheels w/33s for street then have a set of BFG KM3s 35s or bigger mounted on beadlocks for fun.

These Raceline Rynos would look sweet with a powder coated beadlock ring to match the VB paint on the new Bronc! :p

I don’t know anything about tires/wheels and I will trust the Ford engineers with the sas wheels

however down the line if I really like the white anti combo I might go oldschool Detroit steely whites like @NurseDan and @Bronc96 posted

I really like the beadlock ready wheels from Ford. But a set of old school slots in 17" would look rally cool too!

I agree and have always loved those. Wonder if will be able to find to fit the new Bronc?
