So planning on a 2.5-3" lift what else do i need to get to 35s? Will stock 17" sport wheels work?
-will take out crash bars and do minor plastic trimming

a lot of different answers on here couldn't find anything that was 100% verdict.

Youll Need a 3inch lift, new upper uca, new offset wheels -12 seem to work don’t quote me, but I’d check with wheel places first. You’ll need a regear in the rear axle, a delete of the crash bar, or modified, a few inches of trimming of the inside wheel well up front, a 1inch block Or new leaf springs.
some people have trimmed the old plastic fenders and installed bushwhacked a over it.

Last I checked there are no re-gearing kits available yet. They should be available once the bronco starts selling since those will be compatible. Not sure if any of that stuff will actually be available to order straight away since probably most bronco parts are allocated to production at first. Some people are running 35s on the stock gears but I’m not sure if it’s advisable.

Sounds like 33s just makes 10x more sense still , sad thought it could be done fairly easy

There is no Ford kits available but the axle on mine is a Dana M220 and the Jeep jwl kit can fit, East coast gear is going to be sending me a kit out.

A -12mm offset wheel is the last thing you need. It will only make rubbing worse. The more positive an aftermarket wheel you can get the better. I would start at +20 and go up from there.

Check out some of @Andy threads to see what he has done. He is running 34's successfully. Because he's probably off road more than most of us here, he needs full clearance with his setup. This is where he talks about running 34's. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/34”-tires-are-a-go.6211/

I don't think the stuff I'm doing necessarily will need 35s just thought it would be cool, even trails that say they need 35s can get done with some grunt and 33s

With our 10 spd there really isn't a need to regear up to and including 35" tires.

Also, what's your solution for the front?
