New wheels after delivery or wait?

[OF Hero]

Hey all I'm probably overthinking this, but any downside to swapping factory SAS wheels out right after delivery with more negative offset wheels (only 0) or would you wait until after the break in period to allow whatever suspension components need to "settle?"

I’d wait to see if you got a lemon. I’d have 5,000 miles on the odo before swapping/modifying anything/

are you looking go bigger tires too or just changing the wheels?
personally, I swapped out everything at once - changed out suspension to King coil overs and Camburg UCAs and rear links and added 37s and Method 707s (0 offset).

Go for it. Mine went from this to this in 3 weeks. Keep your takeoffs for a bit if you want.

Just wheels, staying on 35s.

In that case, I don't see any reason not to swap out if that is your intent.

Lol, I get that some people have issues but the chances of getting a true lemon is very very small.

hi
each case is different METHOD WHEEL DOES NOT DELIVERY DIRECTLY to individual customers in CANADA. You have to find a CANADIAN supplier. only 2 CANADIAN suppliers. BRITHIS COLUMBIA AND ONTARIO.. SO I PURCHASED FROM THE ONTARIO SUPPLIER.. IN SUMMARY 2 WEEKS OF PLACING WITH THE SUPPLIER. + 4 weeks for them to travel from CALIFORNI TO Ontario. ANOTHER WEEK to receive them in Quebec in 2 deliveries. For the same price in USD dollars as in CANADIAN money + CDN TAXES.
SO, I placed the order before receiving the BRONCO METHOD 706 0 OFFSET BRONZE.

Thanks. Didn't know if putting on more negative offset wheels so early would put me on the road to early bearing issues (obviously a risk, I know). Granted 30 mm more offset isn't a ton.

any time!
I'm running zero offset and no issues thus far but I also replaced most of the suspension parts since I went with larger tires too.

My wheels and tires were swapped within hours of delivery, so I 40 miles on the odometer before I put on the new rims/tires.

I would do it again too.

Not gonna hurt anything but not gonna help anything either…but looks ain’t nothing…you do you!

The longer you wait to do a mod the more the price likely goes up and the time spent enjoying it goes down.

rather walk than stock.

What size tires and rim offset did you go with?
