Would you think 33x12.5 would have fit?

i am sitting UNCUT now myself. I have a 3.5 from BC's. How much of a difference would the rims make in terms of wheel fit into the wheelwell?

Hi,
Nice Bronco, same color as mine.
When you get your cage in, what color are you going to paint it?
Thought when I paint mine it would be black, white, or orange.

I have a 3.5" lift and am uncut on my 77, 31x10.50's on 15x7's with about 3.5" back spacing barely fit... 33x10.50's maybe, with more backspacing might fit, probably not if you flex the rear...

There is no way 33x12.5 will fit. 33x10.5 maybe but it would be close. It all depends on rim width and backspacing. I think the rollcage will be rhino lined black like the rest of the interior ( although red would look mighty good).

Great looking bronco. I still think when the designed the bronco though, they made the mistake of not cutting out the wheel wells at the factory in every bronco. Broncos just look better with cut wheel wells, and tires that fit right up under them. james

i thought about cutting the fenders but just didnt have the heart to do it. Not too many uncut ones anymore. This way I have the tires I wanted and uncut. I think it looks different uncut with the factory hubcaps on it.

A guy in upstate SC did all the paint work for me. He does great work and because I show the Bronco he gives me a discount for mentioning his name. His shop is called Autocrafters in Greenwood, SC. I paid 2000 for everything.

Those are the original 15" ford hubcaps. I couldnt bear to change them out for some rims. The neighbor is going to pay to get it fixed so thats good, but im still without my baby for a few weeks.

I like the fact that those tires arent god awful wide! You may even get a lil MPG ! How wide were the rims you mounted them on? My rims are like 12 inches wide with 11.5 tires and man it sucks to drive on a road that has any rutts in it at all cause it grabbs and pulls.
