Method Race Wheels - New versions with higher offsets

[mC.242]

FYI, I reached out to Method to ask if they were going to make some new wheels with higher offsets that would be good for the Bronco.

They told me they have the following models launching this June/July:

• MR501, 17x8, +38
• MR502, 17x8, +42
• MR314, 17x7.5, +30
• MR701, 17x7.5, +30

Looks like some nice options, hopefully we will start hearing of more vendors offering better solutions for the Bronco.

501 and 502 are both rally wheels, not sure they'll look right on the bronco

Yeah I noticed that once I took a look, but the 314 and 701 might be good options.
At the very least, it shows they are planning more options with the correct offset.

those two wheels you listed would be my sweet spot for offset and 35 inch tires. I like the extra clearance without sticking out too far to have to change the original fenders.

Those are all pretty narrow though. Stock Sasquatch still seems like the best option for my application after adding the beadlock rings. I do look forward to what is to come in the future though!

They're two of my favorite wheels for rally builds, still would have to see them on an suv first

Yes a bit curious why they aren't 8-8.5" but at this point I think the specs could easily change by that time.

agree there needs to be a 8.5 or 9 in the mix. Awesome to see some offsets in the works for our rigs.

701s!!! Those are Trail Series with their patented bead grip tech. The look awesome too. Thought I was stuck with 702s for the offset, but 701s here I come!! Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks mC.242, It's good to see the aftermarket going in the right direction with the off set.
Now that the Bronco wheel specs are out I think we'll see some wider ones also.

Good to know. most methods have a 0 offset. I have some 315's that are 17x8.5 0 offset. concerned they may rub with 35's. plan to lift BD non SAS 2" so hope to be ok.
