I found some Sasquatch tires and rims on a marketplace. I want to know if I can fit them on my stock 2023 Outer Banks without adding a lift. I’ve heard you need to remove the crash bars, but would it still work without a lift?
I did the same thing to my Big Bend last week! I picked up some Sas rims from Facebook and fitted them with 315/70R17 tires. They did rub against the crash bars, so I had to remove those, but otherwise, no issues with the vehicle. I do have a 1” front level, but even without it, you should be fine.

What tire dressing do you use? And how do you apply it? Your Bronco looks awesome!

I just spray a thin layer over the whole tire. It settles into a smooth finish that lasts pretty long.
@Thorne
Yeah, what tire dressing is that? It looks great.

I’ve got a 24 Big Bend 2.3L Automatic with the 3.73 gearing. I added Sasquatch takeoffs without any issues. No rubbing at all. I did remove the crash bars, though. I’m averaging around 21.8 MPG.
As others have mentioned, they’ll fit perfectly with no rubbing during street driving. However, you’ll need to remove the front crash bars, though the Sasquatch package doesn’t include them from the factory.
Off-road, you might experience minimal rubbing if there’s any flex.

That looks super clean!
You can buy mine. I’m switching to lighter non-beadlocks soon to help with fuel economy, probably on Black Friday. I never air down or do serious crawling with my Bronco—I use my Samurai for that.

How much are you selling them for, and where are you located?

If you’re near New York, I’d definitely take you up on that.
Where did you get those red calipers or covers? They look awesome!

Honestly, I have no clue. They were already on the car when I bought it.
Not a fan of those wheels, to be honest.
They’ll fit as long as you remove the crash bars. If you’re not doing serious off-roading, a simple spacer lift could help too. I just put 33s on mine and got a spacer lift to keep things smooth. It’s worth considering before prices for parts go up with tariffs.
