Method 314 17x7.5 +25 Offset

That +25mm offset IMO is the perfect offset for the 100 and 200 series. This is probably the closest reason why I am going to stick with my current wheel set.

The 60, 70 and 80 series is on the 0 (zero) offset area imo is the sweet spot.

Hey now, don't tell me that. You'll have me second guessing my 0 offset wheels I just had shipped.

Don’t worry it’ll still definitely look good, it’s a cruiser

any photos along the side after tires installed? what size tire did you to with?

I went with KO2 in 285/75R17. I’ll take some photos along the side for you this weekend. They’re pretty flushed with the fender.

I agree with you 100%. What are you running currently?

thanks! Looking for a flush look.

I don't see those wheels in that offset on the method site though.... (at least not for LX470)

Just search for the 314. You’ll see they’ll have the +25 offset in 5x150. To make them fit, I took a little off of each hub nut. Super easy

Not Methods but AlphaEquipt Echo (18x9 offset +25mm).

A few months ago I thought I was sure of ditching these for a set of 17x8 offset 0 Bradley V Forged wheels, but after making actual measurements multiple times and looking at different cruisers on zero offset wheels, I realized that zero is protruding too much for my liking (sorry old guy here). Been there done that on -12mm up to -50mm offset wheels when I was younger and I must say it looked really cool but cleaning the truck from the sling of the dirt/mud wasn’t.

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

Would you mind posting the 3D model or hosting it on thingiverse or similar? I've love to print a set for myself.

Attached!

Four tips:
1) run them without the method caps for a week to make sure they stay on
2) silicone the method caps to these extensions. A small dab in each hole is perfect
3) don't use the wire ring... It doesn't fit over the hub nuts
4) make VERY sure you align the extension tabs so they don't hit the hub nuts. If you try to push it on with the tabs over the nuts, the tabs will just break off

Enjoy!

Method 314 17x7.5 +25 Offset

i have the same set of rims. do you have issues with balacning the wheel? Mine seems to vibrate a little at higher speed after installing it on the car. Perhaps some Spigots is what is needed?

My car had 18" Stock but I now run 17" rims. What tires did you go with and what is your error % of the speedometer?

I remember reading where @BPS619
said he had to shave down the little nuts on the front hub to make the wheel sit flush.

If you’re having balancing issues that may be a good place to start. Also have you confirmed it’s not your tires?

Truck is looking good

I see, yes I just saw the post. I don't remember having the issue where hub nuts interfered with the rims. But i'll double check it regardless.

And thank you, truck needs some loving. Been riding my bike more so this one gets ignored.

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?

Newbie here re: tires and wheels. Time for new tires so thought I would do the wheels too. Currently running 275/61R/18.
I would like to do MR305 NV Bronze Method wheels and BF KO2.

I don't understand the offset talk - and I like the current height of the truck. So it is just a matter of ordering 18" wheels and the same size KO2?

 

[Jwoodywild]

Btw - is the front cap issue exclusive to Method? Or will all after market wheels have this issue?

Looking at these right now (same size and type of tires too) with Method’s sale going this weekend…

Someone help me pull the trigger.

 

[Jwoodywild]

Pulled the trigger on 305NV - love them. Need to figure out the front cap issue.

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

what offset did you go with?
