It's going to look cool, that's for sure, haha. I test fit them yesterday and per my previous concerns (mostly posted in other threads), I think the fronts might necessitate some additional mods over the standard pinch welds and cutting/molding of the fender liner.
If it's not too much trouble I think we all would appreciate and enjoy pics of the whole process :popcorn:

@HortyNM is running -4mm offset and 35x12.5's without a body lift, and from what I can tell he has stock outer fenders, which is my main concern. I am going to reach out to him and see if he can share a couple tips!

I will try to document what I can. :beer:
 
Nope, I thought I already posted what wheels, sorry.

Method 311's & Cooper STT Pro's.

Does the 311 Vex come in a 18” x 5/150 option now?
 
I have been looking at those wheels too... Please post some pics once installed.
 
Did you get a chance to install ?
 
Just the fronts, to test them. No pics. I'm refreshing the entire front end at the moment so the truck is on jack stands and all that is going on. I hoped to have the front lca's pulled today but banging on the ball joint didn't free it, so a ball joint tool comes in the mail tomorrow.

The goal is have it done in 2 weeks.
 
I am wondering if these will fit without a lift . Keep us updated

I will have no idea about that, I have an OME 2.5" lift and just installed SPC UCA's which should allow me to run less 'rake' and still get proper caster/camber on the truck.
 
Mine should be in within the next few days and I'll slap them on with the 275/70 ridge grappler I'm running. I currently have the tundra wheels and 1" spacer. With my calculations the 311s should push me out another 30mm. Should make for an aggressive stance. As soon as these 275s wear down, I'll definitely be pushing for a more aggressive size. 285/70 RG makes a lot of sense, measures out to a 34" by their specs. But I think I may want to push the envelope and go to a 295/70 or 305/65. I know tons of people say it's too much. But I need to do it myself and see what "too much" is lol

Cant wait to see how they look!
 
Hey guys.

I got zero work done in the garage last weekend. Hopefully next week but more realistically probably the week after.

The LCAs need to come off and they need new bushings and ball joints, and I need to install the 2.5" OME springs. Then everything will go back together and I'll re index the torsion bars and finally I'll be able to get some pics, before I take it to the alignment shop. :)
 
still waiting for pictures.
 
Got the Method 311 installed. Love this wheel so much. It's just about the perfect offset for aesthetics and I absolutely believe a 285/70r18 would be just about perfect. But I'll be looking into shops in the near future that would be willing to test a 295/70 and 305/65 on there. Just eye balling it, I'm confident a 305/65 should work well in there. Can't wait to see you try that 295/70 STT Pro @Roosevelt T .



 
@LuisJr looks good!

I am fighting with this stupid #2 bushing on the LCA's or everything would be done at this point. Trust me, I want this part of the project over with and pics of the truck up more than you guys, haha!

BTW, funny enough, we have the same exact color LX! :clap:
