I am brand new here and need some advice. Originally had a 1974 Bronco and sold it a while back but now I'm back into Broncos with a full-size 1996 XLT. It's got a 5.8L, warn manual hubs, 137,000 miles, and stock everything. I'm cramming on 33x12.5x15 BFG All-Terrains that I got a good deal on new. I'll trim as necessary and space the bumper but I am having a hard time finding rims. All I want are (5) 15x10 black steel rims with probably stock backspacing (3.75")unless someone has a different/better opinion.

The problem is that I spoke with 4 Wheel Parts and they said thier rims will not fit my truck because they are not hub centric. I called Summitt, Jegs, American Racing, Pep Boys, and keep getting different answers. My best guess is that if the center bore is large enough it will fit but I just don't know. Heck, if someone has some cheap black rims that will fit my application send me a pic. I'm located in Mt Pleasant, SC 29464.

Good find on the 33x12.5x15's. I was having a hellofa time trying to find a set, and ended up going with a 16" rim. And they are not hub centric either, which isn't the strongest setup in the world, but will work. There are spacers you can get for that, and any supplier selling rims should know how to get them. Other than spacing the bumper, you should be fine. I'm at stock hight, (for now), and other then rubbing on the radius arms on a tight turn, no rubbing anywhere, even when I flex the suspension.

Cool, but do you know anything about the hub centric issue or backspacing recommendations?

I edited the post, then saw your reply. The back spacing i'm not too sure on, but a GOOD rim dealer should be able to make a good suggestion as to what will work. Thats where face to face beats the internet. Thats what I did.
