Read too much, and didn't help my ignorance with wheels. Help with 0 offset Method wheel question

[Danny's Bronco]

I've read at least half a dozen wheel threads today. Still I am concerned with making a choice about offset.

I have a stock non SAS OBX. After reading about tires and load ranges I think I have decided on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T size 285/70/17

Question is about the wheels. I like the Method 305. Is a Method 17x8.5 0 going to give me too much poke? Should I go with a +18 or more + offset? I found this offset calculator in one of the threads. Going to post what I calculated to see if it's right.

Does this comparison of the stock OBX wheel and the new Method look right?

I am not really sure if 1.78" poke will be a lot compared to the stock wheels. They seem inset to the fenders now.

What do you think? Opinions welcome... I don't know how to really see what they would look like before I mounted them which would be too late to exchange.

Thanks

I have 0 offset methods, but mine is a Wildtrak so it has SAS. I think it’s the perfect amount of poke.

If you really want to go with methods and 0 offset, but think the poke is too much afterwards, you can always add SAS flares. Just a thought

IIRC the Stock OBX wheel is +55 offset

The SAS wheel has a +30 offset. If you go with an 8.5" wide wheel with +18 offset you will stick out .5" more than a SAS wheel/tire. If you go 0 offset you will stick out 1.2" more than a SAS tire/wheel. I don't know what the stock offset of the OBX wheel is, likely +55 like the Badlands. If so, then with the +18 offset you'll stick out 1.5" more than with your current rims, and with 0 offset stick out 2.17" more....assuming the same tire size. Personally, I think 0 offset is too much poke, I don't like the look, I don't like that much more stuff thrown up from the road, and I don't want to unnecessarily increase the scrub radius and put more stress on the tie rods. I just ordered new rims +18 because it was the least I could find in a wheel I liked. I almost went with a Method 301 that comes in a +25 which would have worked well, but I like the wheel I choose better.

Just my take on it you will love them this is with sasquatch flares also make sure to get the low profile center caps the stock ones are huge

Are those 37x12.50’s?

 

[Donkeygyrl]

Are those 37x12.50’s?

35x12.50x17 0 offset

I have a stock Black Diamond, and put on BFG K02 in 285/70/17, mounted on Method 305 with zero offset. Yes, increased the poke and I think it looks just perfect.

Remedies I had to do, was to replace the stock crash bars with low profiles, and, for looks I replaced the stock flares with Sasquatch flares to cover the extra poke, and they are perfectly aligned tire edge with new flares. Here a pic

Too dark now but I can grab pics of my wife’s OBX in the morning with zero offset 9” fuel rims 35x12.50/17 stock flares. Then my OBX +18 offset 8.5” rims 37x12.50/17 with stock flares. She has a lot of poke. I have maybe half the poke she does.

Measure and envision lol, it’s all you can do. 2” isn’t crazy. I have -18 on my Jeep but that’s not a fair comparison as the fenders don’t cover as much on Jeeps.

I have a set of methods on mine with 285 70 x 17 nitto and I have a negative offset so my poke was a lot more noticeable and I had to remove the crash bars but I think it actually looks pretty good

 

[‘21OBX]

Red one is zero offset. Grey +18.

Anyone know the offset of factory SAS wheels?

 

[RoLyMa27]

Anyone know the offset of factory SAS wheels?

+30

 

[NoloBronco]

+30

How do you gauge the poke if you replace the 315/70’s with 35/12.50’s on the factory SAS wheels?
