Wheel & Tire help for my B2??

[CK3]

I have an '89 Bronco II 4x4.. 4" Lift & Bushwacker Cut-Outs.. I would like to go with 33's & a set of the Cragar Soft 8's but I'm not sure of the following:

- Tire Width

- Rim Width

- Rim Offset

I'm still running the stock D28 & 7.5 axles for now. This truck isn't going to see any real off roading with the stock axles. Just dirt & highway for now. If you guys have pics of your set-up.. PLEASE post'em up with your wheel & tire info..

You will want a wheel with about 4" of backspace and -119mm offset. I'd go with 16" rims just because it will give you the option for explorer rear discs in the future if you ever go to an 8.8.

I have always run 15X8 with a 3.75 backspace with my 35" BFG muds. I do get a little rub on the radius arms but not a big deal. Those same wheels fit fine with my old 8.8 Explorer discs. However, totally unrelated...the 1/2 ton F150 8.8 rear axle with drums have much better stopping than my Explorer disc setup had.

What front axle are you running?? As for the rear... I have a 8.8 thats in my '79 Mustang right now. (Drum 5lug with a 3:73) I was planning on swapping it in the B2.

D-35 is a good bolt in. If you really want high-end strength and you don't mind the work do a D-44 SAS.

i thought d-35 with 44 outters = d44 solid (give or take)

I am running a 79 F150 Dana 44 with 4.88's up front and a 89 F150 8.8 in the rear and a lockrite in both.
What 8.8 is in the mustang, 28 or 31 spline?

Since you asked for pics...
This was my old setup with a 3" Duff lift, fender trimming and 35" BFG's. No body lift.
