Easy Question

Will these fit? http://www.jegs.com/i/Ultra-Wheel/605/174-6885GN/10002/-1?parentProductId=1661383 I can get them in 15" but as we all know 15" tires are becoming more scarce and expensive, so if I'm buying new wheels, i'd at least like to go with "16. I know wheel fitment has been beat to death, but I need a little guidance here. Thanks.

If you're wondering if they'll bolt up, yes, they will as they have the correct 5x5.5" wheel pattern and 4.25" center bore. As for "fitting", the backspacing is going to pull the tires in significantly and cause all sorts of rubbing issues between the tires and radius arms, as well as the body in the rear should you actually articulate the suspension.

You could run spacers if you wanted to to push these wheels outward, or find a wheel with less BS.

FWIW, I would personally be looking at 17" wheels and tires, not 15/16's.

I'll second the recommending 17 inch instead of 15 or 16 inch wheels, as best as I'm able to find that is what has the best selection of tires now and the foreseeable future.

Me too, I'll 3rd that recomendation.

17" wheels are very common now, and the way of the future.
------------

The wheels in question are advertised as 4 7/8" backspacing. Depending on several factors, such as lift -or not, tires size you plan to use, and what year Bronco, you'll need wheels in the range of 3 1/2" -3/4" BS, or so..........

Not to sound ignorant I understand how back space is figured and what it means,but how does offset affect the equation?

Wheel offset and wheel Backspacing are one in the same. They just use a different reference point. You can use an equation or charts to convert back and forth as needed.

Thanks guys. I guess the search goes on.
