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!

 

This has been very helpful finding this thread.

I'm looking at the Method 703 17x8.5 +35mm offset wheels because I want very minimal poke.

I'm trying to determine what size tires to go with. My gut instinct was to use 35x12.5x17 but with my JBA UCA's I'm concerned about the tires hitting and not clearing.

Everything I've seen in this thread no one has been running that size tire. Looks like 35x11.5x17 might be a safer bet? Anyone have experience figuring out what size tire works best to maximize this setup?

I'm installing the Dobinson's IMS 3" lift with JBA UCA's.

Any input is appreciated.

 

Should be fine

 

Hello from Colorado as well!

I'll also note that I'll be installing a tube front bumper as well, so that should help with clearance up front.

It's really the JBA UCA with 35x12.5x17 tire clearance I'm concerned about. With a +25mm offset wheel it doesn't sound like it's a problem. I'd just rather run the +35mm offset to keep the tires almost flush with the fender. I just prefer that cleaner look.

 

Yeah, you'll be fine. I posted a photo earlier in this thread to show that there's plenty of clearance for a 12.5 tire. You could also reference the guys using Rock Warrior Wheels (+50 offset) with a 12.5 tire without UCA interference.

 

35mm offset is truly the best for big tire fitment on these trucks

 

For sure, appreciate you sharing pictures. I see that you are running a 35x11.5 though. From your pictures, you definitely clear.

My concern is adding another half inch....and with the JBA UCA protruding even more than your Camburg UCA's....just has me a tad concerned. I'll probably still roll the dice though.

Maybe I can try to source a 35x12.5x17 that runs on the slightly 'smaller' side just to be safe.

 

After looking for 2 days straight at every thread pertaining to +25 and +35 I'd have to agree.

The +25 offset looks 'ok', but I still personally don't like how it pokes outside the fenders. Just looks gawdy to me. The +35 is the perfect sweet spot in my opinion. Now just to make sure I can get it all to fit without issues. Lol

 

Well damn. Think I wish I had put my amber lightbar in the grille instead of down low with the stealth bracket in the bumper.

 

What’s the difference between the 316 and 703?
I’m getting analysis paralysis trying to figure out what I can put on my 25 Sequoia Limited.

 

The bigest difference is the bead grip the 700 trail series provides

love my 701s r18 = -25 off set vs 0 offset for the R17
