Definitely 2”

 

Why not just get custom steel wheels made and avoid spacers?

Edit just saw your post at the same time.

 

Actually beadlocks are already 3.5” Backspacing. So we’ll see

 

17x9, 3.5” BS

 

Cheap and available. $300 a wheel saves us $500 over Trail Ready’s.

 

Pray they don’t go boom

 

315/75/16’s are much wider than the Falken 35x12.50x17’s we were going to run. Tall and skinny, mostly for clearance with the fender liners we have to keep.

We have 5 now and should have 7 by race day.

 

ran the same exact wheel on my old truck for over 3 years. Never had a single issue. The 101's were the Methods all the big teams had issues with, and those are 6K lb trophy trucks hitting big shit at 90+.

 

Non TT methods were also blowing up on street trucks. Mainly NVs and Standards.

 

Well thats not a street wheel that @4Running Daily bought nor is it the race wheel that had issues which are now discontinued...buuuuuuut I currently have 9 NV's parked in the driveway, sold another used set of 4 to @JuansTaco back in the day and another used set of 4 to @PangTRD when I got my 105s and not one of them ever failed. Also had 6 Standards from the original release back in 2012, never had an issue. My dad still has 5 2012 Standards on his 250, all still good.

Long story, I've run a lot of Methods over the years, sold plenty more than that while I was working and out of all of those I have personally only ever seen one fail and he hit a VW sized rock at about 70, and those even had an OMF conversion...* but of course you're going to hear about the .01% that do ever crack one. Its like the Icon top hats. 1 bad casting run or material batch and now they all have issues.

Edit: *not including race wheels, we smoked our fair share of 101's in the 6100 truck. We also destroyed a handful of Walkers and a few KMCs. No wheel is safe on a TT unless its forged and even then its still not bulletproof.

 

Back to 4Runner talk

 

Way wider. My MTR’s rubbed worse than my 37’s haha

 

I'm thinking I need 3 more machined NVs so I can toss some 37" Toyos under this little ho.

Could be swayed with a deal for 4 bronze or titanium variants.

 

Ouch

 

depends on the tire. Falkens run skinny in general, 37x12.5 Falkens are like 12.2 on an 8.5 wide wheel. My 315/70 Toyos are right at 12.5 where a 35x12.5 Toyo runs 13.2.

Edit: just spent the last 10 minutes trying to find a pic of one of our destroyed 101's. Best I could do is the consequence of blowing a rear hub and running it for 100 miles before the driver noticed

 

what about 5 in black

 

texting you

 

Only person I know to mess up methods was @BMOC

 

My 37x12.50x17 Falkens are 9.5” wide on a 8.5” wheel. (Tread, not including sidewall bulge).
