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.
Thanks! Actually grabbed a set over the weekend and can confirm they fit stock (suspension and crash bars). Doesn't rub forward but will have to test in reverse. Definitely noisier, but an unscientific meter says only 1-2 db increase overall across ~30-70mph. Lost about 1mpg as well, all expected

Adding details from my other post to the thread for search posterity:

Ok so I ended up finding a pair of Bronco (Black Diamond) steelies and confirmed they're the same hub pattern (or negligible if different; wet on fine) and offset (+55), so put them on. Can confirm:
  • They fit stock (FX4 suspension and unmodified crash bars; 265/70/17 is ~1" > factory 265/60/18)
  • Doesn't rub forward in full lock but will have to test in reverse
  • Definitely noisier, but an unscientific phone meter says only 1-2 db increase overall across ~30-70mph (it's just the obvious knobby hum more than anything)
  • The full size spare fits in the stock spare place, but doesn't seat as firm as I'd like
  • Checking threads on the bronco forum side and comparing to stock, I think I gained ~6lbs unsprung mass per corner, which is slightly noticeably on the butt-dyno
  • TPMS appear to be the same frequency and talking as normal, have not had to recalibrate yet; overall size difference should mean ~2mph (slow) speedo difference
  • Lost about 1-1.5mpg as well (mixed highway/city), also expected
