I’ve been following this thread and need help with wheel selection and tire sizing. I’d like to go with 17 inch wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75/17s (33.83” tall by 11.22” wide as advertised). These are the tires from my 74 bronco with really good tread left and I love how those ride (different story, but I’m going to 35x12.5 RTs on that truck). Right now on my 62 I have the original 15 inch wheels and 31’s. And around a 2.5” old man emu lift. the truck was already lifted when I bought if four years ago, but that was roughly the lift estimate in consulting w/ Georg and Tor who have both done work on it. So will this tire size fit without rubbing? And what do u guys think of these two wheel selections? (Links below). Also, these show 4.75” backspacing. I saw earlier in the thread that folks were talking about 3.5-3.75” BS, but can’t recall if that was on a 15” wheel. u guys thin these will work? And let me know if you think they don’t go with the look. I know it’s all personal opinion, but fire away.
The 309 Grid Wheel features a clean 6 windowed spoke design with a debossed METHOD logo. The lip undercut simulates a true beadlock wheel and has replaceable lip bolts with optional colors available. It boasts a strong load rating of 2,500- 3,640 lbs.

The Method MR305 NV Titanium features a simulated machined beadlock ring along with zinc-plated bolts. As with most Method Wheels, there is a matte clear coat along with push-through hub covers.
