bigger tires???

I have a '87 bronco with 235/75/15 on it now. I want to get bigger All Terrain tires. What sizes can I get without changing anything else on it?

Hi,Chad

I have a basicly stock 88 and I am running 31x10.5 on the original rims with no problems. Had this setup for the last 150,000 miles.

Regards,
Ron

bigger tires???

Hey guys saw the question a little late, I guess better late than never. Anyhow I've got an 88 Bronco I also ran the 31x10.5 on stock for about 8 years. Recently I switched up to 33x12.5 on the stock suspension. I had some slight tire rub on the back side on the radius arm. Not too long after I decided I wanted to install a 4" superlift with extended radius arms. It was relatively easy but unfortunately it didn't help the rub at all. In fact the new arms are heavier duty and I think they may rub a little more. I haven't found the answer to the problem but I'm going to stick with this tire size until I'm convinced of something better, cause it looks and rides pretty good.

your going to have to go with a wheel with different backspacing to make the tire stick out farther


1985 F-150/351Ho/4wd/6inch with 33's
1979 f-250 429/4spd/6inchwith 36 inch buckshot mudders

on a quiet night your can hear a chevy (lol,you can watch a dodge) rusting away
