I have not seen these, they look very cool and I would also like to hear about others experience.
Can you share a pic of your 317's on your LC200? I think they slightly resemble the Tacoma trailhunter wheels we have seen in recent images.
These used to be called Method Roost before they went to the numeric naming system. Seen a few 200s with them. 18mm is a pretty aggressive offset and will require some fitment remediation depending on tire & size.

I’ve been trying to sort out fitment; right now, I’m running 25mm H&R DRM spacers with Tundra TRD wheels (0 offset, 8” wide) with 275/70 K02s (33.1” tall x 11” wide). I have SPC UCAs and ~2.25” of lift courtesy of BP51 suspension.
I was on 12” wide rims and 33” tires (20” wheels that came on the truck but were too big for off-road purposes) before putting the Tundra TRD wheels on and I miss the wider stance and improved on road comfort and cornering. I’m assuming a wheel with 18mm offset + the 25mm spacer wouldn’t work and would cause running somewhere or stress suspension or axle components???
I would consider 0mm to be the limit. That setup would be -7mm. You don’t need the spacers.
Tundra TRD wheels are all +60 offset (except RWs which are +50 ET). If you are running a 25mm spacer, then you are effectively at +35 ET right now.

Right you are, I misremembered the stock offset. No wonder I was confused. 0 offset would be flush with the fender, the higher the number the more everything is tucked in (generally speaking) and negative offset is for those who want the pokey stuff.
So if I run a 9” Method wheel with +18 offset in addition to a 25mm spacer I should expect a 275/70 tire to sit just about flush, I think…
Not quite, 0mm offset would put you past the fenders: Builds - Kreiten Build thread! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/kreiten-build-thread.884808/page-9#post-13885879
18mm will be flush. Dont stack a spacer on anything other than OEM offset.
Just to be clear, offset is a measure of the relationship of the hub face of the wheel to the centerline of the rim of the wheel. Positive offset shifts the rim (in relationship to the hub face) to the inside and negative offset shifts the rim to the outside towards the fenders. So 0 offset just means that the hub face of the wheel is on the centerline of the rim of the wheel. I was under the impression that a 1.25" spacer puts the tire about flush (offset around +28). Going to a -7 offset (+18-25 spacer) would be well past that. As stated above, 0 is pretty much the wild extreme and that certainly puts the tire outside of the fender.
Edit: Since offset is related to the centerline, the above generalizations are based on a standard width tire (275-295). All other things being equal, a wider tire, of course, would stick out further.
