16x8 - Beat to death wheel question

I have an 18 Pro.

Looking to get a bit more aggressive wheel.

My options are as follows:

SCS Ray 10 - 16x8 ET-12

Konig Countersteer Offroad - 16x8 ET0

Method NV - 16x8 ET0

For now, I want to use my stock Goodyears in 265/70/16, but once worn, I'd like to upgrade to 265/75/16.

Which wheel will fit best and be the best bang for buck value? BTW, i do not have mud flaps.

 

SCS are great if you can get a pair, all of them will work. id do new tires and wheels all at once and try to ditch your current tires and wheels as a 'package' deal

 

I figured it'd be easier to sell and ship the Pro wheels vs Pro wheels + tires.

Another option is a simple 1" wheel spacer.

 

I don't recommend the Konigs.. They don't answer PM's or emails, customer service is poor.

local sales for anything PRO are generally easy. you should be okay, spacers are def an option tho

 

Personally, I would go up to a 17" wheel and tire. So many more wheel options out there. However, if you arent picky, and are set on the SCS or methods (which are both great) then stick with the 16"

 

Scs Ray10’!!!!!!

 

I've got the method NV 17. I wanted those wheels for a long long LONG time and they're 100% worth the money and then some. My brother was working at a powder coating shop here in town that also installed tires and he said they were one of the higher quality wheels he's come across. Powder coating is top notch, minimal weights for balancing which shows how well they are built

 

Yeah I'm having a hard time between the methods and the ray10's. I don't like the center caps on the methods, but the offset on the ray10's at -12 may keep me from running a bigger tire later on.

 

How large are you wanting? I have a 275/70/17 (32”).

 

I'd either move to a 265/75/16 or 275/70/16 tire once these goodyears are worn.

 

why not go with a 275/75r16

 

I'm not aware of any tires in that size.

 

ooo your right looks like its only 285/75 or a 265/75

 

TRD Pro wheel is 16"x7" ET +13
TRD Offroad wheel is 16"x7" ET +25
-a 16"x8" ET 0 will poke 1/2" more on a Pro and 1" more on a Offroad
-a 16"x8" ET -12 will poke 1" more on a Pro and 1-1/2" more on a Offroad

I have 265/75/16 KO2s on Offroad wheels with stock Offroad suspension.
KO2s tend to be smaller in dimension when compared to other tires in that size.
I can't imagine 1-1/2" of poke clearing, on my stock Offroad suspension. I rub sometimes flexed at full lock with Rally Armor mudflaps.
Pro suspension is 1/2" taller than an Offroad, though.

Either way, a 16"x8" ET 0 will have a better chance of clearing.

Konig and Method are 108mm hub bore.
SCS are 106.1mm hub bore.

the bore difference won't matter if the nv's are lugcentric wheels that use tapered lugs.

From what i've read, we need M12x1.5 conical lugs.

I'm leaning towards the methods just because i think -12 is just too much poke and i'll have clearance issues on the Cab mount and fenders. Not sure how some folks run -20 or even -12 without modification.

 

This.


Your first and foremost consideration needs to be offset and tire.

You can get away with your 265 tire choice and still not risk fender contact with the -12 offset, but it does "poke". Some like this from an aesthtetics standpoint. IMO, the only way to pull off the poke look on a truck is with massive tires and lift. A 265 w/ poke is not a good look IMO. It says to me "I don't know how to calculate offsets" or "I got scared of ordering big meaty tires" or "the tech at discount tire said these would look cool".


I prefer 0 offset in 16x8. Looks just about perfect and completely flush with the fender.

 

I agree. I'd love to run 285's but I don't want to cut up my fancy new truck. Also no interest in lifting. It's at a perfect height for me.

 

If you can get the Ray 10's in brushed copper....
