73 LUBR Wheel/Tire Recommendation

[mdominguez77]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the Bronco community and just sent my 73 off to get media blasted and primed! I'm going to start working on the chassis. I'm going 2.5" SL and 1" BL. I'd like to get the biggest/wheel combination on it without causing any rubbing issues and I'm curious to see what others who have a similar setup have done. This truck will be purely for city driving. Thanks for the help!

It's been covered quite a lot already do a search for lubr wheels, lift, or tires and a bunch will show up with pictures.

If you are into 17" wheels this may turn your crank.

31x10.50x15” on a 7” rim seems to be a popular combination. Backspacing is key especially on a wider rim.

Maybe this will work

This is what I am running and I did two additional mods that are described in the "what fits" link provided above. I installed a relocation plate that moved my axle back by 1" and also "rolled" the lip of the rear fenders up to take that 1/2" out of play. (using a wooden baseball bat - google it)

Hope that helps! B2
