    I've done a lot of searching and could use a little help...

    I've got a 2019 DCSB OR with Bilstein 8112s in the front and a 3 AAL in the back. I think I'm good on wheel well clearance for what I want to run...

    I'm about to pull the trigger on 16" Method MR315s or MR701s and run them with my 265/75/R16 Wildpeaks and want to make sure there aren't any issues with brake calipers clearance.

    Additionally, I'd love to see a few pictures of how these wheels will fit under the fender. I'm hoping to move my tire and wheel about 1.25" outward on each side and line the tires up with the outside of the fenders.

    Pictures, first hand experience and advice would really help and be greatly appreciated.

    Ran the 315s for a month prior to me selling them with wildpeaks 265/75r16. Was only running a pro-comp leveling kit and had no issues with rubbing or clearance.

    Brake caliper is close but they do fit. Well at least the MR701. I'm still running stock tires (gotta wear them out) on my 701's and they poke a little. Not enough to f up the fenders with spray, but noticeable. Maybe 3/8"

    Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to see! My truck is cavalry blue and I'm hoping the black will look good on it and that the new wheels will help fill the fender wells. I'd tempted to do 285s, but don't want to suffer a loss of power going up hills and/or when towing.

    Out of curiosity, why did you sell them a month after getting them?

    Kings and an Icon AAL. Not quite sure how high we went altogether, but nothing too crazy.

    Did you notice a power loss with the 285s?

    Not so much of a power loss... Feels pretty similar to stock actually. Gas mileage is terrible, but smiles per gallon, right? :rofl:

    Do you notice any performance difference? Handling? Off-road?

    Pjs671, I want to thank you for responding to my question and posting pictures. The pictures really made a difference and I'm pretty sure i'm gonna pull the trigger on the Method 315s.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for those additional pictures! Looks like the side of the tires line up perfectly with the outside of the fender. Not tucked in, but also not poking out.

    I have the Method 701 with 265/75/16 KO2. Love both the wheels and the tires. No noticeable power loss. I actually think it drives smoother now as far as the transmission goes.
