Going Bigger & Wider The Clean Way! // 2021 Ford Bronco Black Diamond

[@don7406]

I’m really liking the color of your Bronco. Mat did you a solid on suggesting those blue rims. They look awesome.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Don!

[@mpropulsion9833]

I'm not a fan of off-road vehicles with non-stock wheel and tire size, but I'll make an exception: fit & finish looks immaculate. In the diesel world they taught me to use a Hand Truck to take wheels on & off (not that this would work for the spare). Mounted tyres are really awkward to handle because the size, center of mass and shape makes locking your shoulder, and spine alignment difficult, but not impossible. I vote for powder coating the bracket blue. Keep up the magnificent work!

[@Desert89pathy]

I appreciate that you always show what it takes to do a job the right way. Bonus points for torqueing the spare!

[@jeffmercier7252]

Did you torque in a star pattern?

[@johndavidwolf4239]

@@jeffmercier7252 Is there a different torque value for the spare carrier than in the wheel hubs?

[@jeffmercier7252]

@@johndavidwolf4239 that value should be in the manual

[@driving_in_YYC]

Fun channel! I really love your slightly offbeat sense of humor. (And attention to detail!!)

[@duathlete827]

I've ran those tires for over 40 years and without a spare and have never had a flat. They're great on the highway and off-road. They look great on the Bronco and the wheels look like they're made for your vehicle. Great look.

[@xtremewlr]

Nice thing about having a matching, full-size spare is doing 5 tire rotations. You can get something like 20% additional life out of the tires vs a normal 4 tire rotation.

[@Globbs]

They're my favorite tires but if you're running a large tire on a solid front axle you may have a problem with death wobble due to the sidewall being a bit softer. On this a Bronco that's no issue though.

[@4Kandlez]

You did well to run the same tires for 40 years, were they not down to the belts? :)

[@duathlete827]

@@4Kandlez I didn't use the CJ as a daily driver so not that many miles. Jeep CJ's are so light that they showed little wear. Only replaced them because of their age. Rarely had to even put air in them lol.

[@dirkdiggler2379]

general grabbers are awesome

[@fishflash1]

OMG. The blue gunmetal rims really POP! The wide flairs look amazing as well. I admire your attitude and patience with a defective part. You still went full-on joy and happy. I'm loving Pokey even more.

[@jrldude8719]

Yeah, those wheels/tires and fender flares are spot-on for that truck. 2 thumbs up.

[@jasonprince3093]

This will be the #1 Bronco build to watch.

[@greatcornholio5541]

@14:55 the wheels match the color of the logo on the front corner panel perfectly…awesome set up. You’re probably the only bronco with this wheel color combination.

[@archiepezek]

I love the look of the new wheels, they do match your paint so well. They look much better than the steelies.

[@hannibalhamlin4375]

LOVE the new wheels!! I'm glad Matt showed you the gunmetal blue. They look really sharp with Pokey's color and accents, then the offset just really ties it together! I want to kick Ford though for sending you a scuffed fender flare because those Sasquatch flares really top off the look. I'm so happy for you and Pokey! He's looking so good!

[@1217heaven]

The rims you picked out are Dope. The rims match your black Diamond badge almost perfect.

[@EricVenegas]

Love your channel and I'm definitely following the adventures of Pokey! I've got the same Bronco build so all of your videos about mods are super, duper helpful. Thanks for being a great resource. Keep up the great work, Sarah!

[@DuaneCaldwell]

Matt was right on about those bluish wheels, and I'm inspired by your success in upsizing the tire/wheel size while dropping weight at each corner. Making me think again about which direction I want to go with my 4Runner. Thanks for sharing this with us Sarah. Keep up the great work and the entertaining content!

[@RigiLiquid945]

Awesome tires. I had those (smaller that what you have there) on my Isuzu Trooper. Worked great on highways, off road and snow.

[@Jack-um6yw]

KO2's are a great tire both on and off road. I'm on my 2nd set on my Ram 2500. I took it on multiple 2000 mile road trips to Utah and ran trails in southern and western Utah. You won't be disappointed in that purchase.

[@bobuncle8704]

Killer tire and rim combo. Bronco’s lookin on fire. So liking this Bronco build👍👍

[@jianqiangxie1525]

Sarah is way better than Super Car Blondie !

[@musicalal3752]

Your Bronco looks fantastic. The blue wheels are definitely the right choice.

[@daveg.6820]

Matt is a genius. That is just super color coordination. Love the beefy light-weightier "Big" tires & wheels . . . . .

[@chrisstannard1415]

Very nice, the color on the wheels ties everything together. Great job with size and weight, so many make the mistake of adding weight causing component failure along with changing suspension characteristics.

[@Mustang46liters]

Those wheels are nice. A lot of times people put on the flashiest and largest wheel they can find but these look tasteful and unique. Very nice Sarah

[@CarazyDiamond]

Wow with the matt blue Rays you’ve just turned the Bronco on to an another level. Just superlative 💯👍👍

[@run4st717]

Bronco is coming together. Like your attention to detail. If had to have someone working on my projects would be someone like you. Getting it right is important.

[@SpyderGarage]

Have to say it, your video editing just gets better and better! The content is great, but your editing just amplifies it. (And yes! Those gun-blue wheels were the right choice!) 🙌🏻

[@nathanschimpp1457]

I went thru 4 sets of that exact tire and size on my 02 duramax. They're absolutely amazing! You'll love them

[@habsom1406]

I liked the original black steels, so I'm glad you're keeping them. But the new wheels and tyres along with the wider arches look amazing. Matt was so spot on with his suggestion and what an awesome colour they are, almost like they had your car in mind when they manufactured them. You have the cleanest vehicles I've ever seen! Would be interesting to know if the lower unsprung weight has improved the handling/ride? Great video! 👍😎

[@colinkennedy8523]

Sarah the type of girl to torque the spare tire. Impeccable attention to detail.

[@D.Guitar]

Those Wheels Really DO look Awesome. The gun metal Blue really sets off the look of pokey

[@dwightk.schruteiii8454]

YES! Im not the only one. Was so excited when I saw your video headline. Im doing the same with my Bronco, mixing JDM with offroading.

[@moncho33]

That wheel and tire combo looks great with the cactus gray! I'm definitely thinking about getting a Bronco, but I'll probably wait until I see what kind of issues start showing up. Also, where I live, the only ones available are the Outer Banks, Badlands and Wildtrak and they began showing up a few months.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

I have seen some minor issues with the Bronco's one are the Tie Rods and Rack and Pinion when Hard Core off-roading Some other small things like the cross-member hanging up on obstacles that and placement of the lower shock mounts and the reservoir for the shocks being possibly damaged.

[@netcowboy007]

It’s refreshing and special to see someone as particular and methodical about stuff as I am. I would have been upset the same if my fender flares showed up like that. Most people don’t get it. Great video Sarah! Keep up the great work!

[@jeffrey88888]

Not only do you have quick disconnects on the fender flares, the tips of the bumper come off with 1 bolt to give you more approach angle.

[@SarahnTuned]

That’s rad!

[@WilliamTythas]

not sure how I feel about quick connect parts on the exterior of my vehicle - too easy to steal

[@PetrolJunkie]

[@stevemarsh4302]

I want a Bronco. Sadly, not available in the UK! Personally it would bug me that none of your flares were pristine, I would send the lot back for replacements. Keep up the great content Sarah...

The Bronco is looking so good. Can't wait to see you take it on some overland/camping trips. You know you deserve some quality time out of the shop :D

[@robertrohr3990]

The Bronco is really nice. Your selections are very coordinated and the pending upgrades are going to enhance the overall utility. Way to go!

[@brandonsanders9674]

It’s mean to be for sure! Everything you did to your Bronco is exactly what I would have done to it! I was wondering if you were going to put the raised white letters on the tires on the outside but I think it looks perfect the way it is. Those are the exact tires I would have bought too! I’m excited for more…..

[@evilz33]

I’ve been looking for your channel forever! I remember seeing you on tfl and liked your insight. Such a unique look to have volks on a bronco. Love it.

[@Primus54]

It always amazes me how wheels, tires, and fender flairs can instantly turn a “buffed” vehicle into a “body builder” vehicle. As a boomer who grew up as an “analog” guy, I have a possibly dumb question. Do the digital computers automatically recalibrate the speedometer when you change the wheel and tire dimensions? I’m glad you didn’t cancel the Bronco! Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@ChristopherMCraig]

I have a 17 Transit with bigger than stock-size tires, and the answer for my Ford is no. I had the same question for Sarah here.

[@jeffreyjwortham]

I had to use a programmer to fix the speedo when I put larger tires on my Jeep. Luckily it's a pretty simple task.

[@deviantarsenal]

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 and I went from the factory 33's to 35's and I had to recalibrate my digital speedo.

[@kevincraftsbcs4488]

Sarah your wheel and tire swap are very smart. I did a similar swap with my 1987 Vanagon Syncro. The original heavy aluminum 14" wheel and tire combo were quite heavy even though the diameter was only 25". I put on Audi 5000 Quattro 15" wheels and a 235/75R 5 tire with a diameter of 29". Because of the light weight Audi forged rims my wheel and tire package is lighter than the smaller factory offering.

[@davewhanger6722]

The wheels and tires look great!!

[@greggo7978]

To be honest,you did a fantastic job with your wheel & tire selection .Combined with the flares it all looks amazing. We'll done pretty lady.

[@911Hammer]

R RH… Rear right hand… You got it this time! Grin… These rims and fenders are SICK!

[@r.j.bedore9884]

The new tires look great, and those wheels are gorgeous. The flares were designed with those quick disconnects because Ford expects people to actually take them offroad, so a bunch of parts are designed to be easily replaced by owners if something happens out on the trail. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have planned for that beautiful Bronco.

[@SteveTheFordGuy985]

Great choice of Tires and Wheels Sarah, I love the much improved look of your Bronco. I too just purchased a set of BFG`s K02 LR-E had them installed on my 1986 Ford F-250 4X4 , very tough & capable tires for all driving conditions.

[@ardisdavenport6215]

Love the build, digging the OEM Plus look…by any chance did I miss the rim size/offset etc for the RAYS Wheels?!

[@hayrich1]

Sarah all I can is YEAH! But big But you really impressed me with the weight, the height and info to match the after market wheels. Your Bronco has alway been a temptation now it is an influence. FORD sent her a check! Because of Sarah, many people will be buying Broncos.

[@adriandeleon5268]

Hi, what are the offsets on those te37s you got?

[@Aphonopelma2002]

I've used those BFG's on my FJ for 16 years, never an issue. If those rims are that hard to come by I would have bought the full 2nd set for when one gets damaged. Keep up the great videos.

[@DorksandBolts]

That new setup really makes a huge difference! I was doubting a little at first with the color but now i love it! It’s amazing how those little improvements can change the whole car. Just awesome!

[@plantsbeautylove]

Is this the cactus grey color.???.… it’s insanely 😍 pretty ! Love love love

[@Dakiraun]

Dang! Those rims look incredible on there. Such a cool colour. So with Broncos do you have the ability to adjust the speedometer to account for the larger tire diameter?

[@SarahnTuned]

It’s going to throw it of by 2.2mph at 60, you typically use SCT, a programmer for Ford speedometers.

[@Dakiraun]

@@SarahnTuned Not too bad. Do you access to the stuff for that kind of tune?

[@benspada3832]

Sarah, it may not be as far off as you think. Check your speed in Google maps while driving. I recently went from 32 to 33 inch tires on my big bend and the speedometer still matches GPS speed exactly, even at 80mph.

[@playwme3]

It’ll probably change it just enough to make it correct. Most cars I’ve had have read a couple kph higher than actual speed.

[@chrisburgdorf7469]

I was wandering the same thing. I know with my Mustang, lager wheels threw the speedo off quite a bit, speedo says 78 and gps says 65. Also, Ford couldn't reprogram it because my wheel/ tire comb is not in their data base.

[@jeffgoodenough9932]

Hello Sarah I love those new wheels and tires and the fender flares it's all coming together.

[@honeybadgerwrx]

I really like the look and design of that catch can. Although on their website I only find the unit with AN fittings on top and yours has different stuff on top. Did you order other fittings? Additionally I love the wheels and tires choice and you'll benefit from the unsprung weight loss!

[@mikeharlow2908]

I’m one of those people that does the matching spare wheel and tire as well! When you cycle the spare in with rotations you can go longer with a set so it’s actually economically smart to do! Loving your Pokey Horse Bronco Sarah! I own a 73 early model! Love it!!

[@motornix91]

Hey Sarah, I'm intrigued as to what sort of difference, if any, the larger circumference makes to the overall ratio to the diffs? I know it's an insignificant change to the speedometer but I was under the impression differentials had to stay within a specific ratio to avoid premature wear?

[@bigfootlives3245]

I did the same with the Add-W1 catch system on the newer Forester SK platform. It also has the dipstick and surprised how quickly it accumulates oil. Great upgrades.

[@mussels64]

That wheel and tire combo look fantastic! Did anything have to be recalibrated for the larger tires?

[@darrendaine4914]

My Bronco two door, I ordered a year ago, is same color. Big Bend Sasquatch , with mid package. I have already purchased my soft top and hood struts.

[@claudevillee5446]

Excellent video, Sarah (as always!). Quick question, though: When you switched to tires of a different diameter, do you need to make an adjustment to the speedometer/odometer or do you just accept the fact that your speed and miles will be incorrect?

[@billbry]

With any luck the Broncos read faster than actual speed like my Silverado did and when I put 285-7516's on my Silverado it made the speedometer read correctly. I bought access to my PCM through HP tuners and I can change the speedometer but didn't need to...

The LT load ranges are pressure dependent. Load Range E is at 80psi, D is 65psi, C is 50 psi. A Load Range E at 50 psi is the same as a Load Range C. Just a Load Range C has a maximum of 50psi.

[@majobis]

In the life of my truck I have those same BFG KO tires. I have gone thru 3 sets so far and each set has lasted me up to about 75,000 miles. They wear like iron and they also dig to find traction. I live in MN so we have had some big snow falls and those tires go thru the snow like nothing. But the tire size I chose is the same size as the originals as not to mess up the speedo calibration which you might have to do with your Bronco or do a gear change to bring back the original RPM range for keeping the mile per gallon in the correct range
