Ditto on the backspacing. Go with a lower backspacing on something like an 18" wheel with low pro tires, and I think you'll get the look you want. You'll need the larger wheels to clear the tie rod up front. Be sure to adjust your steering stops or you will eat the tires quickly.

I think we know who's getting booted off the island.

Not a good look for an EB IMHO...reminds me of the 58-64 Impala's with the dinky little 14" rims and even tinier tires stretched over them, some hydraulics, and some big subwoofers. I gotta say it can almost work on an urban Impala, but I'm not feeling it here.

I would have to think that some bigger rubber would be a good thing both from an aesthetic and performance perspective. What's your top speed with such a small tire?

how come we can be supportive of a low rider bronco, but not a donko? At least it is in good shape, better than being crushed, right?

Still Ugly in my book, Old school, sidewall flex is how a Bronco should be.

It's just so disproportionate. If you are going to pull off the look the rims got to be even bigger or the rubber has to grow.

good one Revelation. ;D

i feel like Rodney King at the bottom of the pile, anyone else want a shot while we're at it?


"Caretaker: Oh I ain't saying you did or you didn't. All I'm saying is that you could have robbed banks, sold dope or stole your grandmother's pension checks and none of us would have minded. But "putting rims like that on a Bronco", man that's un-American"


i guess it's a stock seat..... came with it when i bought it in 99. had the original rims on it, but not the hubcaps. the tires then were 235s, so not that much bigger than these. what are the original stock size tires?
