Do 17s fit the Lobo?

[LOBOtomized]

Looking at a set of winter tires/wheels, but I am unsure if 17in wheels fit over the Lobo front brakes? Does anyone know the answer to this? The wheels look to be the black 17s off an FX4 Maverick.

I would say they fit because the spare is a mini 17.

They will fit for sure

I have 17 steel rims that fit my LOBO.
The front calipers are close to the wheel but there is clearance.
if you are buying aluminum wheels be sure to test fit them before installing the tires.

Thanks for all the replies. By the time I got done researching fitment, they were sold. The search continues, but at least I know I can consider 17s now.

The 17's from a Bronco Sport will fit as well

FWIW new 17” steel wheels just like the OEMs could be had for less than $100 from Discount Tire etc. the last time l looked. I got a black one to make a true full-size spare a while back.

Not as cheap as used, but an option.

Got my 17's on. But the caliper is a very tight fit.

I have 17's on my Lobo with similar clearance.
General rule is 3mm minimum clearance.
That's a little less than 1/8".

As one of the guys I work with said, "clearance is clearance" lmao

He's not wrong.

I missed out on the 17in set I was originally looking at, and ended up finding a great deal on some 19s with almost new Michelin Xice, for my winter set. By the looks of the pics above, the caliper is too close for my liking. I added Brembos to my mustang and they are very close to the wheels, like the pics above, and small stones get caught between the caliper and the wheel and have scarred up the wheels pretty good. Probably not an issue if your always on good roads, but my county has a lot of those chip seal roads.
