What you need to know about 100 series aftermarket wheel options

Question here, my wife wanted method wheels on her lx470. Bought her 703’s 5x150 with zero offset. Shop said they will not fit, bore size is the same, what makes them not fot? I am on crutches so I didn’t install but thinking of trying it tomorrow to see.

my guess would be the offset, and that with zero offset these wheels "poke" way too far out and there will be contact issues between tire and fender.

offset describes hub flange distance to wheel centerline. I believe +25 to +35 is the offset typically referenced as being optimum for our trucks... that's putting the mounting face of the hub around 1-1.5" from the wheel centerline (toward the outer edge of the rim). Zero offset (relative to that +25 to +35) leaves the outer face of the same width rim sticking out 1-1.5" further... in reference to the below image, the number I reference would be shown on the right, and zero offset would be moving towards the images center and left. It's roughly equivalent to taking a proper offset wheel and mounting it with a 1.5" spacer.

What other poster said about offset plus the center caps wont fit over the hubs in the front.

You bought the wrong wheel at 0 offset. You need to buy 5x150 in either +25 offset or +35mm offset. Both will work and Method makes them in both those options. The caps will only fit on the rears.

I make cap extensions for the front if you want to hide the ugly hubs.
