    I searched but couldn't find any answer. Any members running Method wheels with 275/70/17 on their Pro with stock Pro (Fox) suspension. I'm curious if there will be any rubbing. Im planning to go this route. Thanks for the help ;-)

    Why Method wheels? Definitely not on par with the quality of a Pro, not to mention a performance downgrade.

    Method looks like the rota equivalent for our trucks. Cast aluminum made in china crap.

    Precisely! There are so many inexpensive, quality wheels that I can drop-ship directly from Japan.
    It makes me wonder why truck owners snatch up these poorly constructed wheels made in China.

    OP -- hit me up if you want something legitimate, and that'll really set your ride apart.

    Unless you have Volks. All wheels are cheap crap coming out from China,Thailand, Taiwan, etc..
    The purpose of this thread was to check if they will rub not the quality of wheels...

    I don't really care about source as long as the wheels are flow formed or forged which is an absolute must for any wheels on a truck IMO...especially one like a TRD Pro which is meant for off road use. Cast is weak and will break instead of bend.

    Not stock pro suspension, but here's some methods with 285/70/17. You'll probably need to trim a bit on the firewall fender flares and maybe a cmc.

    Well, to be fair, we do use these trucks for off-road. Not every truck on here is a mall crawler
