Bronco Wheels

[4rd SVT]

Man,

I was hoping to see what the 18-inch Outer Banks OE wheel looks like on our Ranger-

Here's one off eBay as example that I'm thinking about installing a set of:

Waiting to see if they accept my best-offer this morning....

I'm thinking about "plus-sizing" the tire from the OE 265/60R18 to 275/60R18 all-season/M+S Michelin tire from Costco:

I have a set of aftermarket crash-bars that I've procrastinating on installing & now have a reason to install...

Man,

I was hoping to see what the 18-inch Outer Banks OE wheel looks like on our Ranger.

Just had a set put on a couple weeks ago. I'll get you pics on Friday. While not my favorite wheel of all time as far as aesthetics, it's a really good combo and the

It absolutely maxes out the stock setup and even then I think it should be street only.

Has anyone one figured out which Ford center caps work on these wheels?

I ordered a set of older style center caps with actual Ford emblems glued in.
Will see if these will fit.

I tried test fitting my OE XLT/STX 17-inch six-spoke silver center caps but are too large.

My wheels showed up but without the Bronco centercaps.

I went with 275/60R18 Michelin A/S Highway tire:

Looks like the broncos are 65mm.


I ordered BB531A096RA, and they are too shallow. The micrometer I have doesn't quite have depth to measure super accurately, but seems like right around 20mm to top of the dome.

Thanks Benny! Looks like they are 65mm.

UPDATE-

I ordered the exact same set except in a MATTE-Black finish...

Yeah, they pop right in but somehow are loose, spinning freely.

Sooo.... I used a thin pressed strip of Butyl Windshield Sealant...
Like "sticky gum"
Now they fit tight inside the center of the wheel.
I don't mind them being "counter-sunk" in, as long as they function and look different.

Might be over-kill to order a bulk spool...
This stuff has come in handy so many times for various jobs that I'm on my second spool already.

Did you use the Bronco lugs or Ranger lugs for these? Planning on plasti dipping a set of these wheels with 255/70/18’s but I’m paranoid about using the wrong lugs and losing a tire going down the highway.

I re-used my Ranger Lugnuts

I received a set of lugnuts with these wheels & it appears the Bronco uses the same as the Ranger.

Ok so I'm thrifty. Picked these up yesterday $299.00 for all 5 Bronco Outer banks Take Offs 255/70r18 born on 38/23 installed today 17 min on first L-F but less than 15 on the R side and 7 min ea. rears. Couldn't find a thread ANYWHERE stating these 32's could be stuffed on my Ranger with NO mods. Most say they would scrub, these have an inch on both front and back safety bars with a fat finger all around. The center caps even interchange. and they must have the TPMS cause I don't have the light unless it reads my spare that I haven't lowered and changed yet. Even the spare is a full sized tire and wheel. The custom shop owner said he has over a hundred sets. What's up with these Bronco wheel oh Ranger Guroos??? The bridg AT costs that at Walmart and these have a free wheel Included..

 

[Regc8]

Does anyone really know what is or was the problem with these ? Pin holes leaks,

Full size spare fits like a glove too. Ford your warranty has expired, my new to me bucket list P/U is now old news. and only 9K miles. Just installed the F-pass app cause I just got my first phone.
