Finally got my spacers delivered on Friday. Only time enough to install one today during a break between the kids swims at their meet today, but very happy with the results. Loc-tite and properly torqued...appreciate all of the feedback and input from everyone, incredibly helpful!

btw @Shimmy , wasn't a joke...ordered yesterday! Spoke with Lenny this morning, they're a bit backed up but I should have my spacers in about two weeks. Will report back once I get them and put 'em on. Ended up going with 32mm just to be sure I wouldn't have to trim anything, pretty sure it...

In terms of your question...all I know is that mine look the same to me, and if I can't tell the difference I'm going with the same size on both axles. Could be because my truck for sure has aftermarket brakes (I think I mistakenly said power drums all around, but the fronts are actually disc...

Ok, you got me. I'll order them today ;)

Does anyone have experience with KAX spacers? I don't want to cut corners in terms of safety, but these are less than 1/2 the price of bora spacers and the center bore matches the 108mm of the Method wheels: https://www.suncentauto.com/kax-1-25-5x5-5-108mm-1-2-x20-wheel-spacers-4pcs.html

Walnut Creek.

Very helpful, thank you. I'll likely go with something closer to 1".

Halfway through, haven't tested for rubbing yet but either way planning to get spacers. Definitely happy with the look of the new setup versus old...although if you like the old setup hit me up as they'll soon be for sale ;)

ahh...makes total sense. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation...sorry if it's a dumb question, but what does bronco bp to bronco bp mean? I checked out the website and it looks as though they are very customizable down to the exact mm. Can you share what size you are using? I suppose the best would be to try on the wheels...

Tires & wheels will be here on Thursday, will try to get them on by end of weekend at the latest and post an update. I've got a missing lock for the current lugs, but pretty sure I've got a viable workaround to get the current wheels off that I'll be testing out tomorrow am (before it gets too...

For whatever reason, I only seem to be able to find 1.25" spacers (Spidertrax, Wild Horses, and 4WP) that work for the Bronco. Going to order the tires & wheels w/o spacers for now from TireRack, install them in my driveway, i.e. back out 5 feet from my garage, check the steering clearance and...

So many things to consider!! Yes, those are the wheels I'm looking at (3rd from the left on the top row). My truck does have brakes that were changed under previous ownership. I believe they are power drums from a similar era f150, but not exactly sure. I don't think I'd have any issues with...

I guess angle is everything. Pic looks as though the front tires are about 4" outside of the fender flares, the rears inside the flares.

Or I suppose I just could have swung open the spare tire carrier in the first place :rolleyes: . Current wheels are actually 15x8, offset actually looks to be 4". So I'm guessing, with the new tire/wheel setup of .5" wider wheels, .75" more backspacing ,and 1.3" narrower tires (or more given...

I need to dig up my current wheel brand. Measured (roughly) the backspacing with the wheel on and it seems to be (again roughly) equivalent. Don't know the wheel width though, somebody may recognize these (and they will hopefully soon be for sale :)). Tire size calculator tells me that the new...

I'm looking to put NV 305 8.5 wheels and 285/75/17 BFG's on my truck that's cut and has flares. I'd like for the tires to fit close to flush with the flares, but I'm not seeing anything consistent on proper backspacing to achieve this. I did see something about someone using 1/4" in front and...

Thanks, appreciate that. I spoke with Ken and will likely use him. Only unfortunate thing is that he needs both sets of plates and it will take two months. That's a long time without driving my rig!!!

This sounds like a great idea, and thanks all for the responses. I'll do some digging around on this, but please do let me know if your service is in the bay area.

It's always bugged me a bit that my CA Bronco has non-period correct white plates. I was at the Good Guys car show yesterday and came across a pair of CA blue plates in very good shape. The guy said I can easily have them re-commissioned through the DMV. Didn't totally believe him, but for...
