Wheels And Tires for 87 Bronco

Fellas,
New member, and I just got an 87 full size E.B. Bronco. What are some recommendations for wheel and tire size. I wasn't considering lifting the truck but should I? Maybe a couple inches? If I don't should I stick with 15x10's. Also the lug pattern. Is it 5 on 5.5? Thanks.

I believe the lug pattern is 5.5. It all depends on what you plan on doing with the rig. Do you plan on going off roading a lot? If so, what kind of off roading, mudding? sand? rocks? Cost starts getting up there when you decide to change parts.

the wheel size to me depends on what size tires you want to run and yes the lug pattern is 5.5.

With no lift you could go with the 15x10's and some 31x10.5's or maybe some wider 31x12.5's which would be fairly wide and look pretty neat I think. The only problem I can think of would be the backspacing. Make sure your rims have a decent backspacing. If you wanted to go with a 2 or 3 inch lift you could get some 33x12.5's which would be good but the cost gets up there when yout hink you will be spending around $600 or so just on tires before the lift.
Some places do combo packages which might be something to look at. Good Luck
