Mine are titanium 703 17x8.5 +35 wrapped in 37” Toyo R/T Trails
The bead grip tech is awesome, just ran a snow run at 8psi and they were great

 

Any issues with rubbing and/or BMC chop required with the 25 or 35 offset 17” wheels and 35” tires?

 

man I love your truck so much lol

 

With 35s not for me. When I went to 37’s I trimmed back the tire diversion nub thing, I took off half of them. I didn’t need a BMC chop.

 

That made me laugh cuz I look back at it everytime I walk away. I’m going to be putting on the Ironman Apex full hoop bumper soon with Strands Skylord lights. Too many deer and trees on the roads and trails.

That’s awesome! The Method 703 or 705 are my top choices.

If I could ask a follow up, what is the tire diversion nub?

Do you think the +35mm helps over the +25mm to get more clearance for the tires?

 

Good question, I think the less positive off set would help more. +25 has more poke than +35.

I don’t know what the tire diversion block thing is called, rather I’m just describing what it does.
It’s pictured in this post and you can see I painted it black to keep rust out

No BMC, no rubbing - plug and play with proper alignment

 

I think that’s a pretty amazing endorsement!

did you need extended wheel lug bolts to secure the wheels?

 

No, I did not - the splined lug nuts that Method sells provide more than enough thread engagement for the wheels I have

 

Here are the 703 in 17” with a 0 offset. Needed a BCM and bumper shims. I have it lifted as little as possible to clear from any rubbing.

 

Not sure as I installed 33s. But there is a good amount of room to upsize.

 

Good looking trucks. I am looking at the 316's in Ti for my 2020 platinum. I am going with the 6112/5160 and planning to use JBA UCA's.
If I get the 316's in 18X9 +18 offset can I expect any issues with the UCA's???
Anyone have this set up?
Thanks,
Dave

 

Not the exact setup, but this information may be helpful as the backspace requirements are agnostic.
I've been working toward something similar, so this may help. +25mm offset seems to be the ideal for our truck (from what I've read and spoken to folks about) - no direct experience - not a mechanic.
+18 will help with space for the suspension (reservoir) components, if you have one/them, but you may migrate into other issues.
It sounds like all trucks are different, but the +18 recommendation from Fox/King was paired with a BMC or relocation requirement up front (or at least awareness it may need to be done).
Total Chaos, MCM, Camburg, JBA arms help restore/keep the correct geometry with big tires. https://www.tundras.com/threads/gen...stener-first-time-caller.152823/#post-3808845

Just had my 316 mounted and love them/ the new look.

below is my setup:

◦ Bilstein 6112/5160
◦ Coach builder +2 -1.25” shackle
◦ 295/70/18 nitto recon
◦ Method 316 18+ offset

the tires rub just barely when going in reverse on the front bumper liner. This is after installing Bumper shims to shim the bumper out .5”. I plan to just use a heat gun on the liner.

 

Alright no rub anymore. Vs using a heat gun I just unscrewed the wheel well, pushed in the liner and then drilled new holes. Gained another 1”+.

all good now!
