What's the largest tire a person can use on an unlifted, un-cut BII? Asking due to getting ready to purchase a set of tires (and possibly wheels 15"x7" w/ 3.75"BS) and I don't want to lift or cut on the Bronc.:icon_confused::dunno:

235/75/15's on an uncut, that is what my 85 b2 has under it, no problems whatsoever and gives it a nice stance IMHO. On my 84 choptop running 31x10.50r15's on 10" wheels i had to trim a little and only because i wheel it. If it was strictly a DD i wouldn't have had to trim nothing.

Thanks for the info guys. :icon_cheers::icon_thumby:Right now pricing 235s around town to see how much I need to set aside to get them. Someone mentioned they are using the stock BII wheels. What brand tire are you using specifically?
