METHOD WHEEL QUESTION (1 Viewer)

[blatant]

Are all method wheels lug centered? [ or most aftermarket wheels?]

Method 313 on mine. Ended up having to run 6mm spacer up front to clear the hub bolts.

sick setup! I just purchased my method 304's and waiting on them to come in. Question.... i noticed most of the methods that are compatible with our cars have a Hub bore of 116.50mm and our cars "LX" and "LC" have 110.1mm leaving 6.4mm space. Will this be an issue? Did you use a hub ring and if so what size and where'd you get them?

Nice looking rig!

I really like the look of that bumper with that color!

2" lift?

Yeah I think the part of your post I bolded is the most important part.

My setup will be 295/70/18 on a +18mm wheel, so I will have about ~.4" more 'poke' than you, when everything is said and done. That being said, a lot of tires I have seen do not seem to have the tread width differences or section width for that matter when you spec them out versus what the tire calculator says they will have.

When reading a bunch of threads, there are people running real 35X12.5's on this board. Most dont have the offset I will have, but they arent on stock 60mm offset... usually a 1.25"-1.5" spacers which equates to a 28mm and 22mm offset, respectively... which puts them out further than I will be. All things considered, I think it will take a little work on my end and probably longer bump stops but I think it will be doable. I will certainly post about it so the community knows.

Just read this…. So if my wheel is +25 offset 18x9 and tires at 295/70 18 it will poke out more?

I explained this just a few posts up. It’s been discussed ad nauseoum in this thread. You even liked my comment.

^^^ bunch of people are running method NV in 18s, myself included, +25 offset is perfect, flush with the fenders and don’t rub if you get the right size tires and/or lift.


All you gotta do is drill a 1” hole in the front center caps to clear the dustcap, my 5 year old niece could do that.

Watsup bro I just ordered method 304’s with a +25 offset and will be running 295/70 18’s mt. From what you said the +25 is flush to the fender is this correct?

+25 would poke less than +18. Stock is +60. That means the mounting surface of the wheel is 60MM OUTBOARD of the centerline, a smaller positive offset would push the mounting surfact closer tot he centerline of the wheel. So +25 is only 25mm outboard, +18 is even less at 18mm. Negative offset start going the other way from zero, that means the wheel mount surface is INBOARD from the centerline which is where you get those lippy hotboi wheels.

+25 is the ideal offset for a 100 but +18 is fine. +12 like SCS F5's is where you get into dangerous territory with rubbing.

But what about backspacing?

This isn't Land Cruiser specific info, just google it dude. Also as @atnolan94 said he *just* posted that info, lol.

Theres tons of pics in this thread, just go back through it and check out how stuff fits.

Freedom units

For those having issues remebering positive vs negative offset…let’s use some extreme examples…

Positive offset the mounting surface is OUTBOARD of the center line, think positive because it looks good. My truck at +18mm

Negative offset, the mounting surface is inboard of the centerline. Think negative because it looks stupid. Some random truck at -73mm

Stock 100 wheels are +60, so if we are talking about +25 and +18 and they both “poke” further out than +60, one could surmise that +18 “pokes” further than +25.

+25 is the ideal offset on a 100 there is no debate on this.

This has been discussed so much in this thread and all over the internet.

That bottom truck looks way better. Sorry, bro.

Center caps would never be a deal breaker with me.

This is 316 right?

Not mine but looks like NV305 18” +25 offset

What size rims and tires, how much lift??
