Show off your Method wheels!

curious to see how the new 707's look

 

Yeah. Would love to see a picture of someone who has these installed.
Just got a quote from Discount for just shy of $3k with KO2s.

 

See alot of people running 285/75/r16 tires on this thread. No rubbing with a 2-inch lift? (bilstein 5100 & icon 1.5 Add a leaf) I'm new to the tacoma scene and just want to get the right info for when I decide to start adding things to my truck.

 

It really depends on what gen Taco, wheel spacing, and offset. I have the rub at full squish and wheels turned on my 1st gen, but I’m also running 1.25” wheel spacers. I had to flatten the pinch welds, trim the fender liner, and massage the fender well with a 2lb. hammer.

On my 3rd gen, from what I’ve read I’d have to do a body mount chop and some fender well massaging to fit 285/75R16’s. But I don’t plan to lift that truck anytime soon, it looks great with 265/75R16’s. Not sure what a 2nd gen takes because I’ve never owned one or done the research. YMMV

 

Methods up and coming. Scs hold ya breathe

 

I replaced all the rusty bolts on all 5 wheels with new SS bolts to freshen up the look.

Then this happened





But this was the only damage. My local tire shop are into off roading (benefits of being close to Rausch and AOAA) so they de mounted the tire, smoothed out the damage and was able to get it to seal fairly easily, though they added some bead sealer for extra security.



Gotta love how strong these Method wheels are!

 

WOOOOOOO, a thread I can be proud to join!

Method MR705 Bead Grip 17" Wheels, 0 Offset with Cooper Rugged Treks in 285/70R17

 

my setup

 

How did that happen? how low was your PSI?

 

zigged when I shoulda zagged.

nah, was hung up on my belly skid and got yanked to the driverside and as the wheel went down the rock it turned the wheel while the yank was in progress

lesson learned, stack rocks on the way down or i should buy a winch lol

edit: I think I was at 15 psi

 

does anyone know if you can remove the ring with no problems to lets say.... repaint it then put it back on without taking the tire off??

 

its not a true beadlock. that i already knew for years. and yes the ring does come off cause you can buy replacement rings and even the bolts that hold it in place from method. one thing i am not sure is the ring coming off without the tire becoming. some of my rings are scratched up and wanted to sand it down. sand blast and paint it

 

New Shoes!

255/80/17 - Wildpeaks
I havent seen many if anyone running these wheels, but i really dig how OEM they look, and the "Beadgrip" feature has been praised by a few different folks.
I'm liking the Skinnies so far, and no rubbing that I've found. This will be my 3rd set of WPs, because they are just a damn good all around tire.

@Truck_Norris what an amazing transformation! Great looking wheel and tire package. Nice job!

 

Thanks! I actually had the install done at Discount Tire in Holiday UT! They did a top notch job, and even price matched the lugs I found online. All around good service at that location.

I went with Toyo ATIII 265/70R17’s. Methods are 17x8.5 0 offset. A little wider stance and shouldn’t alter the mpg that bad. Sorry for the dark pics. It’s been raining

 

@Kbar the Taco looks absolutely fantastic! Army green and black is where it's at! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your Taco's upgrade.
