Which Method wheels do you like?

[Dmk08]

What size, width, and offset are most of you guys doing? Looking to order some 305 NV in Titanium for my Cactus Grey BL. I think I want 18s but not sure if I should be looking at the -12 or 18 offset. I want a little poke but nothing crazy.

Any idea what these are? I'm guessing the 18 offset.

17" 0 offset titanium 305's with 315/70/R17 KO2's

There's some very slight poke out from the SAS flares.

Thanks! Im trying to decide between that exact setup or going with 18s in the same offset.

So I ended up deciding to order 18x9 +18 305NV Double Blacks. I have a non-sasquatch badlands and I plan to remove the crash bars but not lift the vehicle until later. I do plan to swap out to squatch fenders.

Question... can I run 35x12.5/18s or will I have issues? (I dont really understand why I should go like 285/35/18 versus 35x12x18; Not very familiar with offroad tires)

A 285/35-18 would be like a sports car tire.

Go here:

You'll learn everything you could possibly need to know about wheels and tires, offset, backspacing, etc. And you can visualize how your tires will look compared to other sizes…

Haha yeah I mean 75 not 35. Whoops.

I ended up ordering this exact setup but with 315/70/17 Toyo ATIII. Are you able to mount to the stock spare tire bracket? I'm trying to figure out what else I need to order besides wheels, tires, lugs, and rings which are all coming from TireRack.

Yes - able to mount with no issue. There will be a gap between the rubber bump stops and the tire... I put two racquetball balls between for now, haha. There's a member here that is making extenders though (https://www.brokeninnovation.com/products/p/spare-tire-bushing-extension). I'll order a pair eventually.

You won't need hub-rings if that's what you're referring to. Even though the 305s are lug-centric , if you plan on using the push-through wheel caps that come with them, the hub rings most likely won't fit.

The Discountire account on these forums confirmed that rings are not needed and another forum member got this response from Method"

"
From the method rep:
With the 6x5.5(bolt pattern of your Bronco) fitting so many vehicles (Chevy 1500, Toyota’s and Bronco’s) the hub ring that came included is for a completely different application and not your Bronco. The MR305 wheel with your Bronco would be considered lug centric and when paired with a set of aftermarket lug work perfectly. The hub rings are not used in this case scenario nor can they be as the MR305 utilizes a push thru style center cap which will not allow a hub ring to be used. You would have to use one or the other.

Also noteworthy, all performance testing of our wheels is done with a lug centric installation (not hub centric/not with the aid of any hub centric ring) and strength is of no concern. I can understand the desire to use a hub centric ring, but I can assure you/you can assure them that the testing we have done proves that it isn’t required in this case. "

Hope that helps.

Looks great! I've been contemplating the 305 titanium on an eruption green. I can't seem to find enough pictures that really show the titanium color.

Non Sasquatch Badlands (Not lift)
Method 706 17x8.5-0
Falken Wildpeak AT3W 315/70/17

I ended up going 305 double blacks in 0 offset. Love the way they look but the truck rides much worse. Guessing it’s probably the 35 Ko2 but it’s crazy as I already had 33” Ko2 before the swap. Discount says they are balancing properly so not sure.

Need to do a lift / leveling kit next. I’m just on non sasquatch badlands suspension.

How do they ride? I was between them, Toyos, and Ko2 but eventually chose the Ko2. Regretting it now tbh.

Out of balance issue? Or air pressure issue?

Balancing is okay per my local discount. I am currently running them at 38 psi but gonna try dropping to 34 cold. They came from Tire Rack at 47!!
