I believe 25 mm and they are on sale right now. Pictures from today.

I'm looking to do the same thing as well. Would really appreciate pics when you get back if you would be so kind! I was also considering 265/70/17s. Any thoughts on those vs what you have? Do the clearance issues on stock rims have more to do with width vs diameter? Thanks!!

That I don't know. I think others have used that size, but I am not sure

Interesting! Only thing I can think is sometimes actual tire dimensions from make to make aren't always the same as the standard. I looked on tire rack.com. and it only shows a 1 mile hour calculated difference between the two sizes so maybe it's all within a margin of error. Thanks again!

I put my daughter’s Bronco 17” Sasquatch wheels with 285/70/17 tires. Only contact issue was full lock rub on the front inner plastic. No issues with the crash bars. Looks like the one plastic would need to be trimmed if putting a leveling kit on.

Here ya go folks. These are 255/75-17 Defender LTXs on my OEM rims. I can confirm that at 80 mph I am off 1 mph on my speedo vs what GPS says I am actually going.

you have pics with all four? Have you been running this setup with the 285's? Would love to hear/see long-term reviews. I've been eyeing some Bronco takeoffs on Marketplace. Most have tires but if they fit with stock suspension, I'd go for those.

I didn’t put all 4 on. Just the front to try turning. I’m currently running SAS wheels with the stock 255/70/17 until I level it or just put 275/70/17 tires on stock suspension.

I’ve got stock tires with Icon Vector 6 rims, and it gave the truck a beefier look without any modifications to the suspension.

Can you share a photo of the clearance behind the wheel and the crash bars?

How much room do you have from the tire to the knuckle? I'm wanting to put a 305/70r17 on my truck

Wow, only off by 1 at 80; going up 1" on the tire diameter I'd have thought you'd be off by more.

BTW that tire size looks great on your ranger!
