What would be a good cheap set of offset Rims to give my bronco a wider stance without doing a solid Axel swap

Just keep in mind the more you offset outward with a rim or spacer the harder it is on wheel bearings ect.

i had 1.5 inch offset wheels on my B II with 32x10.50 tires. it drove like crap! swapped to 0 offset wheels and 33" super swamper bias ply and it actually drove better! the best way to get a wider stance it to swap in explorer front and rear. front is a bolt in, rear just needs some simply mods. way stronger too

I've run 1in wheel spacers before.... It rode better but did eat a wheel bearing 15k miles later.... Always wondered about the cause. Hmm

any TTB explorer will work. i think 94 was the last year for TTB. with a strong helper you can swap it all in in 3-4 hours. the only drawback to the explorer front is the hubs. you can get good manual hubs new. look in the tech library for the warn part number
