This is the new R/T Trail version Toyo released about a year ago. I'm about to go take a look at a set of these in 285/75r16 for my 73.
*Curious if anyone has any experience running these?
**Also open to feedback on running 285/75's on a HZJ73.
I'm hoping I wont be losing too much power/guts by going with a wider/heavier 33" vs the skinnies these we're built for?
I would like to run a 255/85 but the rig currently has fender flares and I think skinnies just won't look right with the flares.
Cheers y'all!
Well I was sold when I got eyes on these things. Surprised I was able to fit them with my saggy stock suspension. Very nice ride, hardly any more noise than my old A/T's. It's definitely a snug fit but should be nice and roomy when my suspension arrives. New wheels were rattle canned with Steel-it. Really nice product for exterior auto parts in a spray can. Very happy with the new upgrades!
Looks sweet!
What are the spec on the Method’s? Backspace, etc…

Thanks! They're not a perfect fit, but I had a hard time finding many 16" wheels with the correct backspace - especially in a style I liked.
These are 16x8 w/ 4.5 backspace.
I have 1-1/4" spacers on (was hoping to avoid them but made a compromise). I will likely drop down to 1" spacers in the near future.
*Biggest caveat that I wasn't aware of when buying the Method 701s: There is a ring/lip on the outer edge of the center hole and it essentially prevents your hub from passing though. I had to have a machine shop mill out that little lip. The lip serves no purpose other than to give an edge for their center cap to click onto. An added expense I wasn't expecting but I'm very happy with them now!
