Max tire size on 95 Bronco?

[John Jacobs]

Hi all,

I've called some tire stores and 4x4 shops and got as many different
answers as places I've called so I thought I'd ask here:

What's the biggest tire/wheel combo that can be put on a 95 Bronco
without making modifications to the suspension or body work? Looks to me like
a 32x11.5 should fit and not rub, wouldn't mind being able to stuff 33s in
there. Waddya think?

Thanks,
J

I have a '94 Bronco with BFG 32x11.5 mud terrains. I had to
trim the plastic air dam on the bottom of the front bumper near
the outer corners because the side paddles on the tires rubbed
slightly against the plastic in a turn. Other than that, they
do not seem to meet any interference with body parts or
suspension although I really haven't flexed the suspension to
the extremes.

Yes, the guy at the tire store said I could indeed fit 33's
without modification. We didn't try it but I personally don't
think 33's would clear the metal part of my bumper. It was
awfully close with the 32's. Be sure and try 'em before you buy
'em.

you may be able to get 32's under there if you are lucky and you have
really good springs...but 31's are the biggest that you can go with and
have no worries about.

and 33's are completely out of the question without at absolute least a 3
inch body lift. a 4 inch suspension lift would be even better...:>

hope this helps,

Well, from what I have heard, 32x11.5's should fit with minimal rubbing,
if any, and 33's will fit with 2" front leveling springs (a minor operation).

Good luck.
