Well that's strange. Mine are the same size. How close are your calipers from making contact with the wheel?

Ill check later for you im at work right now

Just took a quick look at the front of the wheel. Spokes are definitely VERY close to the caliper. I never heard any grinding noises coming from the wheels while driving the truck. I will try to look at the backside of the wheels for any damage tomorrow when i have some daylight.

I cant see the backside of the wheel due to the dust guard. But i can tell you my wheels are not hitting the caliper at all. VERY close to hitting. Probably a paper thin gap. I felt the backsides of each spoke with my fingers and felt no scrapes or gouges.

rapjizzle cant fit wheels on properly

or someone at ford put the wrong brake calipers on his truck

which one could it be

Probably option A

In all seriousness though... Not really sure where this leaves the issue. Method has acknowledged it so maybe it wasn't just my experience?? Who knows.

Seeing how close it was to his caliper it leads me to think that it is due to Methods Tolerances, Tizz your's could just have been a 1/100 set that does this. I know Method tolerances vary as the CNC Center Caps some peoples sat flush while others poked out. Who knows!

Hey all. I had a similar issue. Truck is a 2011 SCREW. I bought a set of used DS and they were fine for quite awhile. Did a brake job and had the same issue, but on the passenger side.

And there in lies the great mystery of Chinese manufacturing standards! There aren't any! If anyone knows this it's me. My caps are all the same and they have fit all different ways on the same style of wheel....some flush some recessed some too tall.

You may get lucky....test fit your wheels before you throw a fit!

Method Double Standard 2014 Brake Issue

I searched on this and earlier this year there was either Method quality issues or Ford Brake caliper issues specific to the 2014 model year. I just ordered a set of Method DS 17x8.5 and 37 km2s before finding the original thread. Is there still issues? I ordered through Discount Tire and am wondering if I need to change my order?
Anyone know what finally, if anything came of the issue?
