I just had a second set of ranger 16’s delivered for less than 300 from eBay.
I love the original silver steelies. Keeping mine stored in the garage with the 33's for when I go do fun things. Getting 19 mpg with the Bronco take offs has been nice lately compared to the 16 mpg is was getting.

I used the ranger caps. The Bronco ones fit better IMO but I didn't want the logos.
the ranger caps are from the 16" steel wheel, correct? what about it doesnt fit well? do you think the bronco logo could be replaced in the bronco ones? sorry for all the questions, im just thinking about doing the same thing. Someone is selling 20mile take offs, all 5 tires, for $850. with general grabbers.

Yes, the Ranger caps from the 16's fit exactly the same on the Bronco wheels. The difference between the caps is the Ranger ones have metal clips and they have to be lined up right. The Bronco caps grip the back of the lug nuts. Logo is glued on Bronco cap See pics.

I have a set of identical looking steelies, but mine are 17x7.5 and I'm trying to determine the best size. Your fitment is exactly what I'm looking for on my stock suspension, either with Grabbers or Wildpeaks.

Idk if you can help me with this answer, but if you are running 265/70 R17 on 17x7s, do you know what would translate to roughly the same size profile on a 17x7.5?

The ones I use for winter wheels are 17x7.5 and 55 offset. Don’t have a pic of the side profile with the center caps attached but you can get an idea of how they look.

Not to thread jack, but Bronco take offs are a great deal. I snagged five of these for $1100 from my dealer. They are showroom take offs.

They had around 10 sets of various bronco take offs. Including 5 badlands wheels with 285/70/17 KO2s for $900. That is a steal.

That is the exact wheel I'm waiting to find a deal on! That's a great price! Can you post a pic once you have them mounted up?

Will do. Hopefully I'll get them mounted this upcoming week.

found two sets on Craigslist. Bought one, 5 wheels/tires and 4 Bronco caps + TPMS. I like the look of all your trucks, will be a second set. Not sure what to do with the caps, may paint the caps all black.

for those who look into this, the 17 inch steel rim from my spare and the Bronco 17 steel rims are stamped the same F3P and share the same DOT numbers 17x71/2J-55 TOPY KB3C-1015.

I picked up a set of Bronco steelies a few weeks ago and finally got them put on the truck this morning. I really dig this look. My wife has horses and said the Bronco center caps looked cool so I'll roll with them!

Looking into a similar setup and just found this thread - what tire size are on those steelies and did they clear what appears to be the stock fx-4 setup? I have almost the same spec

Those are 265/70/17 general grabbers, it's what comes on them factory for the bronco. I'm on a Icon stage 5 lift so it fit fine, I'm pretty sure it should fit on the stock suspension as well though. I did have to push the front crash bars out though it was just rubbing on full lock in reverse. I also have 1.25 inch spacers to push them out a bit.

They've been on the truck for about 35,000 miles now. No complaints, getting great tread wear as I got a set of 5 and I'm doing the full rotation. They are getting a bit noisy and man do they pick up rocks.
