I didn’t get a lift to avoid waiting longer from receiving my Bronco and glad I didn’t as it gets assembled in two weeks. I am curious though what is the biggest tire that can be placed on the Bronco without having to get a lift? Is it the 35s?

35's if you remove crash bars

If you just want the look, remove the crash bars, consider a leveling kit on the front and go with "35's". Fun fact; The tires on the Sasquatch aren't actually 35's. They are 34.5 +/-.

I drove the dealerships mannequin a base Big Bend with a level kit no crash bars and 35” drove nice and no rubbing.
You might be able to squeeze 37” if you use the DV8 inner fenders but not sure, probably won’t have full articulation. And I talked with the guys that helped build the Bronc busters bronco and they said you can fit 40” if you are willing to cut your fenders, little extreme but may be possible.

33s.

285/70R17, 295/70R17, 33x10.5R17, 33x11.5R17, etc. etc.

For reference, 285/70R17 is the same size that comes stock with the Badlands trim.

Did you measure the spare? A tire with no weight on it will be the tallest.

You are right, the spare is bigger.
