curious if anyone could give me an idea what size wheels/tires are on this clean bronco? I'm in the market for new wheels and tires and like the looks of this setup

I'm guessing 15-10 wheels and 36-15-15 tires?

ok,well for some reason the link will not go thru

BIG ones ;D I usually don't go for that much lift, but I agree the stance on that truck is nice! Nice rig.

I'm guessing 15-10 wheels and 36-15-15 tires?

That'd be my guess too, 36" fatties. 15x10 rim.

Maybe email American Racing and ask them?

I did shoot them an email,but no response..so,thought I would ask on here..really like the looks of it..thanks for attaching the pic !

Nice looking rig,I would say 15x36x14.50 w/15x10 wheels,those are definitely TSL Super Swampers,no mistaking them.

I would guess the same

thanks everyone..was curious...who has the best deals on swampers in that size? wonder what the backspacing is on that combo? its typically 4.5" correct? thanks

 

[ricky]

I know its hard to tell just from a pic,but anyone care to take a guess at the backspacing?

 

[Doyle]

3 5/8" was a popular backspacing for a lot of the 15 x 10s

 

[DirtDonk]

Those could even be 15x12 wheels. Very hard to tell with some, as backspacing greatly effects the dish depth.
If 10's, I'd have to say 3.5" bs. If 12's, perhaps 3.75" to 4" maybe?
Too bad they don't give much detailed info like they used to. Or maybe now they expect you to look in the book for that!

And all that on an un-trussed Dana 30 too. Guessing they don't go pre-running for the truck in the background.;D

You might want to query someone in their marketing or IT/Web departments. Not everyone is going to know the history and setup of each vehicle they show on the web.
Assuming you have a choice regarding where your e-mails end up.

thanks guys, they only had one email address on the site,so that's the one I sent it to

I'm hearing impaired,or would try and call them

ps, going by their site..it appears the backspacing is 3.81" for that wheel..if it's a 15-10..which is the widest wheel they offer in that design..after doing a little searching,i found the specs..

 

[NGABronco]

I'm just saying that the back spacing on a 15" wheel is critical on some types of disc set-ups, i.e. 76'-77' stock disc set-ups!!;D;D;D

 

[Broncobowsher]

For a 14.50 tire I don't see enough sidewall bulge for 10" wheels. I'm guessing those steam rollers are on 12s.

You know it is a show truck since it is still rolling on a Dana 30 up front, at least they disk braked it.

 

[DirtDonk]

American Racing has always tended to limit their wheel widths to 10" (with a few exceptions) but I was even thinking to myself (until now of course) that those wheels sure look like Eagles or ProComps. Granted, the folks at AR would certainly know a lot more about their wheels than I would. And there are definitely similarities, as there often are. But my first thought when seeing that picture was that they were Eagle Alloys.

But I've been wrong about things like lift heights, wheel widths, and all sorts of other things before, based just on a photograph.

Be interesting to find who owns that Bronco and verify all the gory little details.
I don't mind being wrong. I love the test-and-answer sessions!

I'd love to chat with whoever owns it..but I doubt that will happen..looking at the pic when enlargened on the site,it looks like the tires have a decent amount of "bulge" but wether or not its a 10 or 12" wheel I have no clue..if it is their wheel,then the only size they have for that bolt pattern is a 15-10 with 3.81 backspacing..i'm guessing that backspacing is what works best with that size wheel and tire..with a 12" wheel and that tire,i wonder how much worse it would rub on the arms,etc?

 

[DirtDonk]

Probably less rub on the radius arms, more on the body. LOTS more on the body unless the lift and fender openings are sufficient.

well,i could be off on the size for sure..looking up that tread design as a original super swamper..the only size I see in a 36" -15 is a 12.50 wide tire

there is a 35/15/15 but it looks taller than a 35"

and then there is a 38.5/16/15 and I'm thinking that's too tall,but looks fairly wide..hard to tell from a pic :-(
