Method 703

How much lift? looks like King shocks in the back - CMC ? See you have sliders - hows it do off road rubbing wise off road with the 35s?

 

Here's my 703 in the machined finish. Switched from the black TRD and totally loving the little bit of flash.

 

It is something like 2.5" in the front and 2.5" in the rear over the stock height. I have the CMC and it rubs only on the driver side CMC not on the passenger. Both side have similar caster angles at 3.8 so not sure why it only rubs at the driver. It rubs on the CMC when the wheels are at full lock while turned to the driver side and the suspension is compressed. I havent had the chance to take it offroad yet but i am almost certain it will rub my CMC. Will probably need to do the CMR in the near future.

I cut the front plastic fenders and just did the fender liner removal and fender cut mod this past weekend. Since ive just been mall crawling, havent noticed any other rubbing besides the UCA and CMC as of now.

 

I was afraid of that. I have 315-75/16 tires. Mine will definitely rub. Will need at least a 1" spacer that I am not a fan of.

 

i was able to get away with 0.75” spacers in the front only. that is the thinnest bolt on spacer you can run. It is enough to push the tires away from my UCA at full lock. I got a feeling 0.50” spacers will work as well but those are floating style spacers which require extended studs.

 

I wonder if some wheels with more positive offset would be the answer or at least help and maybe a different UCA that can move the tire forward a little more and still keep the alignment within spec.

 

A more positive offset will bring the wheel/tire further in (closer to the suspension parts). Too negative will cause the tire/wheel to further out

Which wheel spacer did you go with?

 

not sure if you asking me but if you want the 0.75” bolt on spacers Bora is the only company that i’ve found make them

 

I need at least an inch. My current setup has a BS of 3.51" and -25 mm offset, and Method's offset will push my setup further in by an 1". I am looking at the Spidertrax.

 

my methods are 17x8.5 4.75” BS 0 offset. putting 0.75” spacer gave me 4.00” BS which was perfect in my case. i tried 1” spacers but did not like the way the poke looked.

 

What UCAs do you have that were rubbing with 0 offset and 315s?

Not mounted yet but you get the idea. Loving the machines look to switch it up. Method 703, 17x 8.5, 265/70R17

 

What tire specs? I can almost make out the sidewall but not positive... Looks like maybe 255/80/17?

 

Looks really good! Would love to see another photo once mounted. I'm about to put these on my white 2023 with 285/70/17s and will post myself when I do.

 

I won't be mounting them til Spring. I gotta make a few trips likely through a rough snowy highway over the winter. Put dedicated winters on the stock rims. I've seen a few of these on TW which helped me confirm my decision. And you'll have 285s, that'll look so sick.

 

Here are the photos of them mounted. I like the offset compared to stock
