17" Beadlock Capable Wheels Worth The Cost??

[CherryCoke]

As an option on the Ranger Raptor for $1,495, is it worth it?

In my situation as I plan to go 315/70R17 (aka 35s) I want to have at least +25mm offset. I understand there might be some trimming to be done, but I have heard +25mm offset is where you want to be. IMHO, not worth it as it comes in a +55mm offset. There are plenty of equally priced or in some cases budget friendly bead lock wheels on the market that give you more functionality and/or more capable out the box. To add you will also need to buy Ford's Functional Bead Lock Ring Kit that goes for $1,110 if you plan on utilizing the bead lock capability.
Even if you stay with the stock tire size, I still believe it's not worth the cost. Just my opinion.

What do you think???
- Would you get them anyways.
- The price is right.
- I don't care, it looks cool.
- I never run under 20psi when off-roading.

I don’t need nor do I care for the look of the Ranger Raptor bead lock capable wheels. That being said though, I do like the Bronco Raptor bead lock capable wheels. I can’t really say why but I do & if they will fit the Ranger, I would seriously consider a set. I see Bronco Raptor bead lock wheels for sale from time to time but would never purchase them from Ford as they are $1150.00 each!!

Bronco, Ranger, Ranger Raptor all share the same bold pattern at 6x139
Bronco Raptor variants, I believe is 6x135 - So may not fit (Updated )

Bronco Raptor bead lock wheels are 17x8.5 with +34offset and weight about 36.4 lbs. You might get away on fitment with an added 5mm or 10mm hub centric spacer. I personally would not go any more than 10mm, at that point you're best getting different offset wheels.
As for the stock 37" tires that come on the Bronco Raptor, those won't fit without a lift kit.

I opted out of beadlocks. For the extra price plus the additional kit needed I figured that I would just buy a set for another one of my vehicles. Thinking of making an offroad mustang or charger build

They look really nice but if you aren't going to be airing down often and you aren't rich it doesn't seem worth it.

 

[pablo94sc]

I don't think I need them as I don't plan to air down enough to justify them. If I do decide I need something more capable, Method's bead grip seem like the way to go, and they look good too

I've never lost a tire so didn't care for expensive security to make sure they stay on the rims...

 

[Slappybabs]

I didn’t think they were worth the 300+ per rim when you can get an arguably better looking wheel for half that price. JMO

I don't like the look. They look like cheap beadlock knock offs.

Bronco Raptor uses F-150 bolt pattern, which is different from other Bronco trims and Ranger trims.

Ranger Raptor ROW wheels (should be the same as the wheels we'll see in USA) fit Broncos

So, Bronco Sasquatch/Wildtrak/Everglades wheels should bolt up to the Ranger Raptor

30mm Offset

Fitting is a different question... but the 30mm offset of the Sas wheels is close to the 25mm the OP was looking for.
