Did you ever get a solution to this?
Nah. Still running cap free for now.
I 3d printed some "cap extenders" that look like this:
Those ones are white, but the "real" version is black. They're made out of PETG so they're resistant to chemicals, water, sun, etc.
I've been running them without the caps for a couple of weeks now, on and off road to make sure they don't come off because I don't want to lose the actual method caps. So far, so good.
I'm going to put the method caps on and run them for another few weeks. If they stay on, I'll post the 3d print file so people can make their own.
For those more curious, here's some more pics:

Curious if anyone had tried the MR706 wheels. It stayed they are specifically designed for the Land Cruiser 100 with the “tall cap” to clear the stock hubs.

Hey guys you can get all your answers by checking Methods Master Parts List under the “wheels”
tab, I downloaded off their website here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0...Master_Part_List_10-21-2022.xlsx?v=1666390526
You can sort by 5x150, then by hub bore- There is a corresponding cap part number listed with each wheel reference- cross check to your requirements
FYI Most of the push through caps on 5x150 applications have 116.5 hub bore wheels- Note: these are lug centric. They will work but just not hub centric. 110.5 bore wheels are hub centric but won’t have push through caps - that’s the trade off.

Sticks out like 1”. Covers front hubs no problem.
Looks nice! I think I see those are the 18s? 35 offset with those fit well?
That’s right 18” 35mm offset. No issues with fitment. LX suspension is stock as well.
Happy to see someone else running the Method Bronze on white truck look. I just ordered the 706's for my cruiser and thought that the bronze would look super sharp.. You've proved that theory right! I ordered 17" with 0 offset so we'll see how that goes, with respect to fender rubbing.
What size tire? Please post pics when complete!
Will do! 285/70/17, went with the Michelin A/Ts for predominantly highway driving. I had everything shipped to my parents place in Idaho to save money, just have to wait another couple weeks for them to come up.
Just to let everyone know method is running a sale right now on their wheels. Just ordered a set of 5.
Hopefully I don't have to cancel this order like the last because of them overselling and having to wait months on stock.

The standard wheel has a hub face to top of cap measurement of 44mm, the "tall" cap version of the wheel has a 66mm measurement.
How did these end up working out for you?
They've been perfect. Printed in black petg, which is uv and chemical resistant. Lightly sanded them to create a matte look. They've stayed on for about 3k miles without issue, including mud puddles, rock crawling, desert whoops, freeway speeds, etc.
Rock solid
any photos along the side after tires installed? what size tire did you to with?
