No problem! Good luck with the wheel/tire search!Hey that turned out nice, man! Thanks for sharing!
New wheels and tires. 17" Method 703 35mm Offset, 285/75r17 Toyo ATIII. I also replaced the 865's with some 866's for grins. So far they ride about the same from what I can tell and still haven't settled in the pics. Right now I am just waiting on the correct lug nuts, but that's another story. They tuck nicely. I hammered the pinch weld, coated it in undercoating and then remolded the plastic with a heat gun and there is zero rubbing. I'll drill the front center caps and install them at some point. I did the spare tire mod a while back, so my spare is tucked up pretty nice. The space is definitely at capacity though.
Yes sir. Pretty impressed with how quiet they are actually. Good luck!Did you go E load? Leaning towards this exact setup on the next round. But they also make the ATIII in a 35x11.5x17, decisions....
Wow I love those 705’s! They look sick. Excited to see it all put together.705 titanium 17" +35
This is an old 285 70 17 mounted just to check clearance. It does fit in spare location easily.
I really want to order new 285 75 17 Toyo AT3s. Haven't pulled the trigger on those yet.

I really like those 705's. I bought the 703's awhile back, at the time they were the highest offset (35mm) I could find.
I thought I might experiment with these center caps for the 703s: Gorilla Automotive HC202STBC Gorilla Hub Covers | Summit Racing - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-hc202stbc
Anybody else try them? I won't have my truck back for another week so I won't be able to do anything before then.
Bringing this back.As promised, the 703’s came in, mounted a sweetheart deal Kumho MT71’s at 295/70/17. There is occasional rubbing I will need to massage on the very bottom tip of the front bumper on the front fender wells. So far so good, and personally I think they look fantastic.

I think they are a great option for those wanting MT performance at very reasonable cost (at least when I purchased them). Great mud performance, pretty decent wet weather and dry road performance as well. They are getting maybe slightly louder as they are driving windows down but certainly nothing unbearable, and I’d say quite a bit better than the older generation MTs I’ve heard and driven in the past.Bringing this back.
Can you provide any long term review on the Kumho's? Im considering these guys as my Firestone's are about 50% gone.
Thanks
I just drove home on them from work tonight, they definitely still fit! I don’t remember if I looked them on the vehicle application or just searched by lug pattern.Another from the dead bump.
Can anyone with 703s tell me why Method says they don’t fit? I emailed them and called them but both times they tell me the 701 fits and the 703 doesn’t despite the same hub bore size.
I just don’t want to order them if there’s some issue.
Thanks!
Appreciate that. I wonder why they don’t adjust their database. Maybe I’ll send them a picture of our rigs and tell them they clearly work.I just drove home on them from work tonight, they definitely still fit!

Sorry, realize this a few months old. 703's fit. The center cap on the front doesn't though, maybe that's why they took it off. @BenCC is making some center caps though (Builds - Benjamin’s 3D Prints Build - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/benjamins-3d-prints-build.1171700/post-15064018).Another from the dead bump.

Watching the center cap progress, very interested! Thanks.Sorry, realize this a few months old. 703's fit.
