Method 318

Anybody running the black Method 318, 18” 40mm offset? Opinions of them, opinions of how they look and pictures of truck if possible.. thank you

 

I haven’t seen them on a 2G Tundra yet. I’d like a set in bronze. The math says they’d sit 1” further out, giving you an extra 1/2” clearance on the inside (8-1/2” width vs 8” stock).

 

I have them, in gloss black on my 21 Tundra. I ordered them on the day they were released. I'm finally at peace with my wheel selection, after going through multiple different sets. I think it's the perfect size and offest. If I think of it I'll post a pic tomorrow morning.

 

I'm interested in this set as well... Any pics?

 

Sure, this is one I happen to have on the phone qujick, it's raining at the moment. You can see how they sit anyway. 295/70/18.

 

Just ordered these with the +40 offset but they seem to be on backorder. Anyway you or anyone else could post a few more pictures from the side and front? Hoping my tires sit flush with the fenders.

 

I can tomorrow if I think of it. These barely poke out at all, compared to a 9 inch wheel with +25 offset. These sit about like an aggressive factory wheel in my opinion,

 

Awesome, thats exactly what im going for. Ive had the aggressive offset on trucks in the past and got tired of how much crap would get slung off the tires and onto the body.

 

Here's a picture of the bronze Method 318s. Sorry I don't know the specs other than they are 18s. I already had to replace the tires shown in the picture. 30 miles into driving it home for the first time and one tire just blew out completely for no known reason. 70 on the freeway but the truck handled great and was able to pull over quickly. Luckily no rim damage (and no damage to the human). I do have a close up picture of the rims if you like. I think they look really good (bit biased). Gives a wagon wheel style. Compliments the green of the truck.

 

Looks awesome! I’ve always been a fan of clean single cabs but you dont see them often. I would like to see a shot from the front so I can see how far they poke. If you have 18’s than your wheels are either 18x8.5 +40 or 18x9 +18. I ordered the 18x8.5 +40 but was just told they wont be shipping until May 21st. I’ll be sure to post pics once they’re on.

 

Also looking at these in gloss black to go with 295’s. More pics please

 

Here's from the front. They were ordered and installed all last week so they may be the 18x9 +18. I couldn't find anything on the rim itself to confirm size.

 

I love them. Super easy to clean with a rag, and not some crazy offset making the truck look like I'm attention-starved.

 

Still waiting on mine to come in . What offset and size tires?

 

Finally came in! 18x8.5 +40 offset. Tires are 275/70R18 KO2’s (not new, already on truck). Perfect offset IMO.

 

I might have to order a set when they run a sale. Anyone running these with 285/70/18 tire?

 

Are you still running the 295’s with the 40 offset? How much room is there? Did you have to cut much? Not much info at all about +40 offset especially with 295s. Thanks

 

yes, still running the same as above. about 2 3/4 lift in front, none in back. no cutting . I only aligned it myself so there was no rubbing. I think it is the perfect wheel specs for our trucks.. also...the michelins I put are are excellent

 

Great! Thank you so much

 

Coming into this thread late but used it to make my decision so I thought I’d share…I had 2.5 gen trd wheels w Toyo MT’s same size that rubbed with a 2” leveling kit to take MOST rake out (the block on top of spring only measures 1” but raised the front 2”) 5yrs later after tires wore and wheels began to peel, upgraded to these 18” Method MR318’s 18x8.5 +40 (factory was +60) Bronze with Toyo R/T trails275/70/18 no rub new! At first glance I thought to myself “oh no, what have I done to my girl!?” But the wheels have grown on me…notice people looking at the wheels often, possibly out of disgust, LOL, i appreciate all the great info I’ve gleaned off this site for many years, thank you guys!

 

What fog lights are those? and is the amber a DRL light?

 

Tricky question…Purchased off Amazon on sale, I’ve wired the amber LED blinker to be the DRL, so in short, yes the amber halo runs as a DRL but is thru a relay needing additional 12v and to a switch in my dash because I wanted to be able to shut the Raptor’s &/or halo’s off. They come factory directing you to wire up the white DRL halo. If swapped directly with factory, you will not have a halo, just a fog light.
”suparee Tundra fog lights”

 

Thanks! It looks great man i was looking at those before and actually asked one of the sellers if you can run the ambers as a drl and they said no so i just passed on them. now i know you can i might look into them again

 

new to this -- so if I have a '21 TRD OR, stock tire size, am I correct that these wheels should have no clearance issues? I do a lot of towing and I need to stay close to stock. Very limited selection of aftermarket wheels with all the same specs as stock.

 

Nope, you’ll be good. Can probably go up a tire size and still be fine.

 

Would love to see anyone else with this setup, or more pictures of those that have already posted! Looks like this +40 offset is the way to go for us vanillas that still like to look good?? lol

 

First wash it’s had in a while.

 

I just think the +40 offset is about perfect for these trucks. Slightly wider stance without screaming "look at me!!". It seems that pretty much only Tundra owners appreciate the offset because it's only slightly different from stock, but if you've owned a stock truck before it sticks out for sure.

When my Cooper Rugged Treks are finally done next spring (going to get 60k out of them and they've been awesome!), I'll be ordering some 318's and going with 295/70r18 Cooper AT3 XLTs.

 

I agree! They are basically flush with the fenders. I have 275/70R18’s on it now but will probably go up to 285’s when it’s time. These were the only wheels I found that had both the look and offset I was looking for.

 

@Mike1305 just ordered a set of the 318s in 40 offset. Are you running a leveling kit with the 275/70R18s or stock suspension? Either way, are you experiencing any rub with trimming? Thanks in advance
