Awesome finish on those extenders!!!Just a quick update for anyone printing the cap extensions. I reprinted the Method wheel cap extensions in NylonX with Carbon Fiber for some extra durability. They turned out much better than the previous PETG prints.
On the left are the previous PETG prints. Not bad, but a little glossy and you could see the layer lines. They also would snap tabs off if you weren't careful installing them. The new ones on the right are right out of the printer - no sanding or anything needed. Zero lines, nice matte textured finish, and the Nylon+CF is WAY tougher. It's also more resistant to heat and chemicals. They should last a lifetime.
Now I need some used Methods because I can't afford new ones...
That Looks Badass!!!
For #5, "running a wider size" than 275/70/18 would be something like 285/70/18? Would that tire size be okay?

Best looking truck I've seen. Are these wheels good to go once you buy them, can you slap them right on your 100 Land Cruiser?
Same question. No spacers needed?
+5 is getting pretty low offset for a 100 series especially if you are going off road. I would assume the bumpers really help with clearance on that truck. Many people running 0 offset have issues with the tires making contact with the fenders during articulation.
The more research I do, the more I'm leaning Braid wheels like @suprarx7nut 's. Otherwise seems like it's a couple of offerings from Method, having to run spacers bc of hub issues, or too much poke bc 0 offset.
Getting that offset where you want it is the most important step! I love the Braids years later. Uncommon and great looking. 10/10 experience.
Hey y'all....I just read through all ten pages....yes all ten pages of this thread. I feel like I could make a chart now with all the numbers.
So, factory for my year /origin, is a 275/65/r17 60mm.
I have 2" body lift in.
I am now trying to source 17"x8.5"...and at least 10, possibly up to 35.
I am up in Can. So the task of even finding wheels, is even more difficult + expensive.
703's come in +35...so this seems like an option
found a Black Rhino with +10
also looking at Nomad in a 17"x8.5 +25

Looked through this thread and not sure why they havent really been mentioned but ICON Wheels makes quite a few options that fit the 100 Series very well. I have Icon Compression wheels on my truck in 17X8.5 with +25 offset and they fit great.
ICON Rebound, Anza, Hulse, Nuevo, Recon, Six Speed, Thrust and Vector 5 all come in that same 17X8.5 - +25 offset - 110mm bore fitment. You may have to space out the center cap if you want to run it but thats not that big of a deal IMO. My 100 with ICON Compression wheels and 285/70/17 BFG KO2's. No wheel spacer, just a center cap spacer from Delta Vehicle Systems

10-inch wide wheels are ‘usually’ available in 15s and 16s wheels but I haven’t personally seen one on a 17 or 18. If there is, that is likely a bespoke one-off wheel. 20-inch wheels definitely have 10-inch wide specs but I don’t think it’s a popular option for us here in the forums. +25ET (lowest) and +35ET (highest) is the best offset for the 100 in my opinion, it’s practical with little pinch welds work and good for maximized articulation, it also doesn’t poke out that much for any tire size may it be 33s, 34s and even 35s upto 12.5” wide tires. But then again it all boils down to your preference.
For reference here is mine sitting on 18x9 +25ET on 35x12.5s AT tires on mild AHC sensor lift with Japan4x4 strut spacer mod.
Wheels are called Echo manufactured by AlphaEquipt.

I think the issue is just because Icon says bore is 110mm, that doesn't mean that it's not tapered and we won't need a spacer to clear the hub. A member here already confirmed that spacers were needed for the Vector 5's unfortunately.
So far these are the only ones I have heard people having an issue with. As someone who has had a bunch of modified cars, enlarging the center bore to desired spec or cutting a recess for the hub etc. is really not that big of a deal.

Looks great. Not sure if the center caps diameter are the same as method, but I make extensions out of nylon and carbon fiber: Method Wheels center cap extensions - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/method-wheels-center-cap-extensions.1349020/
