Mickey Thompson Classic III's for a 77?

[jimnrenee's77EB]

First off this site is wonderful and my wife is starting to call the computer the "other girl" instead of the bronco. I have raised my uncut 3.5 in JD suspension lift and 2 in body lift I currently have Galens PR78-15 on 15x7 or 8 in wagon wheel spokes. The rear has 11 pack springs and currently I have almost 5 inches of clearance between the tread and the rolled fender. I want to put Mickey Thompson Classic III 16 x 8 or 17 x 8? wheels and Mickey Thompson MTZ radial 32/10.50s? Is anyone running this combination on an uncut with a lift. I can't really figure out what offset is needed for those wheels, The local off road shop says go 15x7 rim and I hope someone can help me. I have searched the LUBR threads for two weeks now and haven't read or seen a thread that would answer my dilemma. Is anyone running those rims if not what is a good alternative? different rim sizes?

?:?

Might want to check out this thread and call Tom's Bronco Parts. Not only a great deal on the wheel you're looking for, but they might be able to tell you if they'll fit your set-up

im running 15x10 M/T Classic III's on 35/12.5x15 General Grabber Red letters, I'm sure with a smaller tire and a more narrow wheel would be fine.

Galen what is your backspacing on your M/T rims?

 

[galen1970b]

Offset -45 3.625" backspacing and thats on 15x10s, THe only issue when mounting and balancing is the inner rims close to the steering knuckle so they needed to use slim weights to get it to clear. But ive been on the highway with this wheel/tire combo...and so far they are pretty quiet(even with no top or doors..) and I dont get any vibrations at 65(my truck doesnt go 70..)
