87-91 Bronco Tire Sizing

[Offroad_Dayton]

Just Wondering, Without Suspension or Body Lift and No Fender Flares. What is the biggest tire that you can get under an 87-91 Bronco 4x4? I was thinking 33" but a friend said 34"... Any light from those with experience?

33" and you may need to space the front bumper 1-2" or trim it.

I will keep that in mind, I am also having some wheel rub with the 31x10.5 that I have on the Bronco now, wheel spacers are what I am thinking about getting, a friend told me that they are bad on ball joints though. Any light on a way to get around that because if 31" Tires Rub so should 33" tires.

Depends on where they rub, wheel spacers will fix a radius arm rub, but would make fender or bumper rubbing worse. But if youre already rubbing with 31s, then your springs are probably shot because 31s were the stock option, and they shouldnt rub anywhere.

also depends on the offset.

Are they stock or aftermarket rims?

[clutch]

does anyone make radius arms that bend inwards more?  the boss just put 33x12.5's on his f150 which obviously hit the radius arms.

[reptillikus]

No stock replacements, only extended arms.

I rub when I cut hard left and right and a friend of mine has the same stock setup and he doesn't rub. I have stock steel rims and the stock option 31x10.5 tires. My ride height is correct its just the rubbing when I turn hard that drives me bonkers.
