Rims maybe....tires are WAY too low profile. I would go with the 31x10.5s or the 32 or 33 x 9.5s if you can find them. You need a taller tire...in my opinion...

I think the 31x10.5s fit under an uncut stock Bronco. At least a 29 inch tire? Someone else here might know?

The rear sits a bit low. If the springs are old and worn that could be part of the problem. The newer more modern springs are an improvement over stock and a nice upgrade. I think it would look much better with at least 30 x 9.5s.

Exactly what size are this tires you have on there? I am just curious if something taller would be in that same price range?

205 x 60

looking at the James Duff recs for tires, 195 was supposedly the biggest you could go on 8 inch rims. for an uncut without doing anything.

I have a set of those rims in the back of my garage somone gave me. I couldn't sell those things and now I see why. You need some bigger tire for sure.

You can give me those rims. I don't think the rims look bad it's the tires that make it look goofy.:p
