I'm ready to put on 35" BF Mud Terrain's, (my 6" lift kit is almost done) but have been told that the stock rims are not wide enough, they will bulge around the stock 15 X 7.5 Been told that I should go with at least 15 X 10.
If I have to go with new rims I was thinking of moving up to 16 or 16.5. How about some help?? |

35" mud terrains will not fit on stock wheels.
I would definitely go with a 15x10 wheel as this will give your 35's more contact area on the road/off-road.
16" wheels have an 8-lug bolt pattern. You will not be able to use 8-lug wheels on your 5-lug pattern Bronco. Stick with 15 x 10 wheels, you'll be happy with them and the 35" muds.

say.
