Pretty sure Method sells a front cap that is extended for the LX

what offset did you go with?
stock offset - i spoke to folks at the tire place, who were great, and they recommended stock. I am not wheeling it in anything too crazy and will not be lifting it.
 
I just noticed Method Racing added a hub extension for their center caps at USD 5.99 each and these can be stacked to increase the height. Only applicable to clip-on style caps. I'm certain this is a recent add as I have been trying to find a solution to my Method 314 center cap issue on the front. But unfortunately, they don't ship to UAE, so somebody else has to verify dimensions etc.

 
Anyone running the mr316 17x8?

Planning on grtting those and some KO2 285/70/17

Would this be a good setup on stock suspension? Any rubbing or spacer needed?

MR316, 17x8.5 +0 on 285/70/17, this is stock AHC in high for reference. Pinch weld is trimmed and heated the fender liner to push it back. Almost no rubbing on “N”, only when wheels are slightly turned and the suspension compresses (even then it’s slight), otherwise no issues daily driving.

Man I’ve been looking at this exact wheel/tire setup on my green LX. Can’t find a ton of people running these though, they look awesome! Anymore pics?

Good stuff! You're welcome. I ordered a set myself after I verified it on call with Method Racing that it will fit onto method 314. Since they don't ship to UAE, a set of 4 I ordered was delivered to my friend yesterday which I'll have shipped from there to me today. This should resolve my center cap issue with a stock look retained. I too, will post an update once I receive it.
 
Update: I received the hub cap extenders and unfortunately, it doesn't fit my method 314. The extenders are slightly larger diameter than my center caps.
Bummer @prickly
Are you still having vibration issues with your current setup? Or did the solution to shave off the lug nuts work?

The vibration issue was my tyres. Installed new Geolander A/T and vibration is completely gone. Havent touched my lug nuts, they dont touch for me so ai didnt shave off anything yet.

Got some steering vibration on braking though.

P.s anyone in U.A.E wants to buy some center hub spacers from method, hit me up.

Thanks for the response. Good to know.
Good luck with getting rid of these
 
Anyone buy and install the push through center caps? I have 305's and saw they now offer center caps that are supposed to fit.
