New Ford Performance part: BRONCO METHOD 17"X8.5" WHEEL KIT - MATTE BLACK

[evgenyvasenev]

A few people had issues fitting the 703 on the spare tire mount and had to get a wheel spacer or modify the bumper/mount. Not sure if it was becuase of the 0 offset option of the wheel or not. Wish i could find the thread.

I had that problem +35. Cut the rubber bumpers a little.

Depends on tires too. Mine are a little bit wider (as I understand) so 5 mm probably is not enough. As I said I cut the bumps probably 1/2 inch.

My wheels are already this size except the hub centric. +35 mm is a perfect offset for non SAS when using a 285/70 or 285/75 tire.

The title of this thread might be a bit misleading

I bought aluminum rings when I installed the wheels last spring. They work fine.

For everyone balking at the price: I've seen a custom builder in Houston selling used and new-ish sets of Sasquatch wheels for $2500. So $1850 ain't bad.

I’ll evaluate on my next tire rotation. I purchased both plastic and aluminum at the time, but the aluminum were a much tighter fit so I sent the plastic back.

Similar but not... Went with 16's

Those look great. I'm running 285/75/17 Falken RT's and the stock BD wheels are tucked in a bit too much. Those look like the perfect offset for that size

Anybody seen these yet? Thoughts? I did notice they are hub centric. I think that is the only difference between the 703's sold directly through.

Which Method wheels are these? Any side shots of them on the vehicle?

Yikes.. No go on that price.

It's actually a good price. It says sold in sets of 5, so $364 a wheel. I have the Method 305 double black. Same wheel without bead lock and paid $382 a wheel.
