Critical Rubbing Points & How to Fix Them

Specific areas where oversized tires rub on the Ford Bronco (6th Gen) and proven solutions.

1

Removable Front Frame Crash Bars (Non-Sasquatch Only)

Non-Sasquatch Broncos come with steel crash bars in front and behind the front wheels. They will hit 35" tires immediately.

The Solution: Unlike the F-150, the Bronco's crash bars simply UNBOLT! Ford engineered them with two 15mm bolts per bar. Removing them takes 10 minutes and gives instant clearance for 35-inch tires.
2

Fender Flare Width (Tire Poke)

Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks flares are narrower than Sasquatch flares. 35" tires will poke 1.5 inches past the fenders, throwing rocks at the doors.

The Solution: Upgrade to OEM Sasquatch wide fender flares or install aftermarket mud flaps.

Wheel Offset & Backspacing Advice

Why offset matters as much as tire diameter.

Sasquatch factory wheels are 17x8.5" with +30mm offset. For aftermarket wheels with 35s or 37s, stay between 0mm and +30mm offset.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ford Bronco (6th Gen) Tire Fitment

Can you put 35-inch tires on a non-Sasquatch Bronco without a lift?โ–ผ

Yes! The secret to the 6th Gen Bronco is that the front and rear crash bars are held on by two 15mm bolts. Once you unbolt and remove the crash bars, a 315/70R17 or 35x11.50 tire will fit with zero rubbing on the street.

What is the biggest tire on a stock Badlands Bronco?โ–ผ

The Badlands comes factory with 33-inch tires (285/70R17) and disconnected sway bars. It can fit 35-inch tires (315/70R17) by simply removing the crash bars.
