    I just bought a 2019 Pro and I purchased method grids 18x9 with a 150.00 offset. Discount tire said I should not go bigger than 275/70-18 due to rubbing with these wheels.(Also better availability) Can someone offer advice, I will have these installed tomorrow afternoon?

    +0 or +18 offset? I think those are the Method Grid 18" wheel offsets for the Tundra.

    5x150 is the bolt pattern.

    With that said, I run 18" Method NVs with a +25 offset and 275/70/18 tires...I have a 2.2" front lift (much like the Pro's lift). I have NO rubbing with my setup and I have a 33" tire. Granted, my tire is 275mm wide. If you go to a wider tire (285) or taller (34" or higher) then you have to worry about rubbing as offset and lift affect it.

    275/70/18 = 33.2" diameter
    285/70/18 = 33.7" diameter

    Going with a wider tire may LOOK great, but it can cause rubbing issues as well.

    Personally, you have A LOT more choices at 275/70/18 and they are cheaper. Here is a side shot with a +25 offset and 275/70/18 tires:

    I think either size is fine. I just can’t believe you don’t want the bitchen 2019 pro wheels

    you have a lot of choices at 295/70/18 as well, but they are 20mm wider and 1" taller than the 275/70/18s...so they WILL rub with a +18 offset. You will have to remove and/or mold plastic to make them fit. Maybe some small cutting.

    You pay for a lot of things you never use on a Raptor.
