Hey Duffymahoney.
Love your Bronco! did you end up with spacers o
on your wheels? I am looking at 17 x 8 with 4" BS, or possibly 17 x 8 with 3.75" BS, either way the tire will BFG KO2 295/70X17, 33.3" overall diameter but 12" wide.
Your Circle Racing wheels are 17x8 with 4.5" BS. Any rubbing on suspension components in the front?
My bronco has the Dennis carpenter quarters to match the front so no clearance fender wise on mine.


Thanks again for your direction.


Mark.

Front= no spacer. Rear = 1/4” on each side. But my rear axle is narrowed.

Currently just about lock out, my tires hit my arms. I plan to get Duffs T-rex at some point.

Finally found a powder coat I like to argent silver! The color is Alien by prismatic. About 80% gloss. Pretty happy, its slightly brighter then my grill. But matches well.

Sure is! Think that’s the best looking of the retro/updated clusters. Looks great.

Good morning.
Who's Hydroboost system did you use? I ordered mine directly from Hydratech back in March of this year and was just told it will be another month.....
I am trying to decide whether or not to cancel my order and go with Wildhorses.....

That's what I have, seems like a great design, also Duffs looks well thought out.

New tires for my 77 Lubr! I had originally bought 265/70-17 because of Covid and the US was out of the 275s. Swapped the 265s to my daily and got 275/70-17 on it today. They look a little more beefy. I think I gained like .5” but I love the look!

2.5" front, 1.5" rear, taller perches, axles back 1", rear axles narrowed 1" each side with now a .5" spacer, so .5" narrow on each side. 1" body lift.
