Wider tires?

[ARC]

I have the 21in stock wheels and I went with 285 45 21. In addition I went with Bora hub centric 1.25in spacers. Looks great and flush with body panels. Been running this setup for 45k and never a problem.

Can you post a pic? Specifically of the fronts and how much poke you have, if any. I'm trying to get as close to flush as possible on the stock wheels. I can't tell from those other pics if the pockets in the back of the OEM wheels is deep enough to run the 1" without trimming the studs.

If you want dead flush on oem 21’s, 295/40’s and rear camber set to -.5° with 1” spacers all around is perfect. If you’re not into cutting the studs use Eibach 30mm spacers…they’ll push the wheels out less than 5mm over a 1” spacer and still look great. 1.25’s are never the answer.

1” is flush with the proper alignment. You NEED to trim the studs though.

There’s rumors the 2025 21” wheels have a deeper pocket than the earlier models. Hopefully someone will verify that as true because 1” is proper.

What is the depth on the 20-24 oem wheel's? I can verify the depth on my 25 oem's. I have been wanting to run 1" but really didn't want to trim the lug's.

Huh. You mean 1.25” never the answer for the fronts? Because I’m looking at them on the rears and they seem ideal on the OEM wheels on the ‘25. I got a pair of 1.5” for the rear and a pair of 1.25” for the fronts from Lethal.

I tried the 1.5” in the rear first, and it was too much poke (I’m trying to emulate the X5 w/ M Sport kit look of the vehicle we traded in, not the “tires for days” look of my Bronco). So I swapped out the 1.5” on the rear for the 1.25” pair I had, and thought it looked good. But likely need to have camber adjusted after driving behind it and staring for a half hour.

So after that, I was thinking 1.25” rear was good but have left front alone for now. I’m not sure 1” isn’t too much for front on this even…

Seems like best plan is to pull the wheel off, measure the lugs, measure the wheel pocket depth. Subtract intended spacer size from OEM lugs, if the difference is less than the pocket, you’re fine. It’s raining hard here today (and can’t pull into my garage still) or I’d go grab some calipers and measure myself.

I meant exactly what I said and included the proper rear camber measurement to pull it together. Math doesn’t lie.

1" spacers all around and -.5 degrees of camber in the rear is perfectly flush. The reason why spacers that are 1/4" bigger in the rear compared to the front look to have the rear wheels sitting the same as the front is because of the weird OE-spec camber.

Here's a general question. Is this much negative rear camber, set from the factory, contributing to what feels like less stability at higher speeds? The truck just does not have a real steady feel at 80 mph.

 

[Combatvet]

I installed 1.25" spacers on all four, the fronts do poke a bit more which is a little odd looking, but stability at 90 mph is rock steady. I'm torn, may go to 1.5" in the future.

Shouldn’t. I never felt a difference between OE-spec camber and the new alignment. Always feels solid as a rock.
