I have no issues with any sort of rubbing or clearance issues. Note I do have the factory Sasquatch package. But if you are running 35's today on stock wheels with no issues, the Methods should be the same. These wheels were designed to be as close to factory offset as possible.... big reason...
In 2024, Ford sold 110k Broncos. Jeep sold 151k Wranglers. In the first half of 2025, 72k Broncos vs. 85k Wranglers. Maybe when top mfg. see that the Bronco is closing in fast on the Wrangler, they will start making a quality softie for the 2 & 4-doors. But honestly, I'm tired of waiting.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have opted for the hardtop for a few reasons:
1) The factory soft-top is hot garbage. They should have stole a page from the Wrangler... as those softies were 100x better, IMHO. Difficult to put down & put up, window removal is 1960's tech, roll bar...
Bought these a year ago... I wanted the "no poke" offset, and these checked that box. The weight savings was a plus as well! I haven't noticed much of a fuel mileage increase... but I do have a bit of a lead foot.
Mine didn't come with the Ford center caps... bummer.
Too complex, too bulky, and that fit/finish should not have a Bestop name on it.
@Bestop_Team please, I beg of you, just bring us a Supertop Ultra Squareback (for both 2 and 4-door owners). If you do, you will sell 100 of those to every one eTop.
This is 100% why I went with the Ford version of the 703... I didn't want any poke. https://accessories.ford.com/2021-2024-bronco-17-x-85-method-wheel-kit-bronze-m1007km1785br
2.7l w/ SAS OBX here. For the first 5k miles... I struggled to get anything greater than the mid-teens. But once I crossed that mileage threshold, I get close to 20 in the city and highways to 23. Just did a recent roadtrip of 240 miles, cruise mostly set at 78mph... it delivered 20.9.
My problem is I came from the Wrangler world and I was used to their quality tops (made by Bestop)... when I got the Bronco, that top was like learning a new language. And it scratched the hell out of the rollbar. If they ever come out with an Supertop Ultra Squareback version for the Bronco...
Maybe there was some sort of non-compete with the OEM top? The Trektop was offered from early days as dual-top option... which struck me as odd. Was the OEM soft top made by Bestop? I have trouble believing that one... as the OEM is absolute garbage.
My two previous JL's (one JK) all had...
Hands down, if you made a SuperTop Ultra (like that of the Wrangler), you would have my money right now. (I will happily be a beta/pre-production tester for you... say the word!).
Color choice as well... black or tan please :)
I am hopeful the Bronco holds value like the Wrangler... but I am a bit nervous.
I have owned 3 JK's and 2 JL's, all Rubicon trims... I flipped them very two~three years because the trade-in values were so high.
And FYI, in the dealer world, mods offer no increased value... and in some cases...
Made the same mistake. I guess I should have read the entire thread before ordering.... and paid closer attention to the adapter and its vehicle compatibility. My bad. @JodyT , you may want to update your thread with the correct link.
It was a gamble that paid off. I didn't mind the stock SAS wheels, but wife wasn't a fan. I get more compliments on the wheels than the actual Bronco. I ordered these 703's directly from Ford as I wanted as close to stock offset as possible (not a fan of the wheel poke... and the resulting...
