Method Double Standard 17x8.5 on 100 Series?

[lukem]

Hey everyone, I'm on a search for some new wheels for my 2000 LX and I ran accross this ebay listing for a set of Method Double Standard 17x8.5 in the needed 5x150mm bolt pattern that the seller has listed as fitting the 100 series cruiser/LX. Has anyone tried these or seen them on a 100? I guess worst case I the might need spacers? If anyone had and thoughts or experience with these please let me know. Thanks!

too aggressive an offset - you need to be under over 12 to make a 285 fit well.... 25 for an 8.5 wide would be optimal for most or ET 35 for a 9 inch wide.

my bfd's are 18x9 et 12 and with a 295/65/18 DT they are the absolute limit of full travel without rubbing.....

Method likey has a fitment - as would Fuel I suspect.

Cheers

I know that method do make some sets that fit and they look Bloody awesome. Would have to be my favourite rims but yeah the offset on them is no good.

they do a few that will fit - and they do have a forged rim.....

Method NV comes in a +25 at 18x9 which is what I'm ordering soon.

So Duggy, how did the wheels turn out? Any rubbing? How much lift and tire size you running? I just put OME 2.5" and am running 285/65/18 BFG's and would like to run a slightly wider rim to fill out the wheel well a little but would like to avoid running a spacer.
