This is probably the lightest combo I've seen. 78lbs on the UPS scale with TPMS. Could probably drop a few pounds with a Kansei wheel at 22-23lbs.
17x9 VR602 (listed at 24lbs but closer to 25lbs)
315/70R17 Goodyear Territory MT listed at 52lbs but 53lbs on the scale (OEM Bronco Tire)

There was some talk about these running small so I set one next to some half worn Falkens that run big (34.8) and they're pretty close in height. The Falkens do have the weight of the truck on them which probably zaps some of the height but not bad.

Seeing as tire weight makes a much bigger difference than wheel weight on these trucks, I'm excited to hear what the customers initial thoughts are.

Customer said ride was equal to the OEM BFG but these are quieter at highway speeds. He also said the truck felt a little more snappy around town and he's getting roughly one more MPG. Minor offroad driving and everything worked well.

Probably pair well with some Motegi Trailites too if you want lightweight...

Here's the specs from Goodyear. on the tire
