    Wheels and lift installed this past Monday. Will get some better pics soon, but I don't think many folks run these yet so I wanted to post a pic or two.

    I went with the "black machined finish" because black wheels are so played out.

    Those look like 17"s? I know the backspacing is closer to 5" on those. They look good.

    Sorry for digging up an old thread.

    But had a question on my Wheels.

    I'm getting ready to order a set of the Method Mesh wheels and was wondering
    if you were running any kind of spacers with your wheels?
    I'm looking at the 17 x 8.5 with the 4.75 back spacing. And didn't know if there would be any issues with that back spacing.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thanks for the reply. I was a little worried about them hitting the calipers. I just got my set of black 17" mesh wheels from method. Can't wait to get them and my lift on.

    What size lift and tires are you running and any major trimming/ cutting with this lift/tire combo?

    I've got the full OME, 885's and Dakars, waiting for me to get some free time to install it.

    I'm getting ready to buy a set of the Method Mesh 17x8.5 myself. Did you all have to use special lug nuts. I have read where regular acorn style will work but have also read where you have to use e/t acorn style so you get the extra threads.
