Hi, I can't remember which thread I got this pic from, but can anyone tell me what model wheel this is? Thanks in advance.

That's my truck and those are 20X9 SOTA SSDs with a +12 offset and 35X12.5 Nitto Ridge grapplers.

I have fuel trophys with +6 offset. Stock tires. No rubbing.

Johnjoemd, are you basing this on normal driving or have you also had a chance to do some driving that really worked the suspension travel? Thanks!

Sweet! I like your setup. I am consider getting the SSD wheels in the 17x8.5 +6 offset. I know it's going to give a different look than your setup, so I'm searching Google for images of the 17's on 35's to see if I'll like it. Have those wheels held up well for you?

Edit: Oh sorry, I thought those were the wheels that you had on your previous truck and put them on your 17.

Definitely no rubbing as far as daily driving goes. I have done some off-roading. Nothing that would "fully"test the suspicion. No wheels off the ground but back country 50 mph with some ditches here and there was no problem. No rubbing. Hope that helps man. There's a picture of my setup earlier in the thread too.

Yes, that definitely helps! Saw your pics earlier and your truck looks great.

Method NV 17"


Do these rub when articulating or jumps? I know they are zero offset.

I put the Method Con 6 wheels on today. Here are a couple of pictures.


Looks Badass! Methods are a 0 offset. Do these wheels rub at full articulation or jump landing? I just put the NV's on and haven't had a chance to test them out yet.

They'll stick out 5mm further than these.

No one seems to be able to answer me. I just got NV Method wheels and they are 0 offset. Stock tires. Will I have any issues with rubbing at full articulation or landing after a jump?

It's all speculation at this point as nobody has really fully compressed the suspension with 17x8.5 +00 and posted on the forum about the results. What I can tell you, just like a few pages back is that the GEN1 could fully compress the front suspension and the stock 315's would just barely touch the fender with Methods. If Ford decided to make the fender wells smaller (unlikely) you'll have issues but you'll most likely be fine.

Since you already have Methods, why not go jump your truck and report back so we don't have to speculate?

That is EXACTLY what I plan on doing at King of the Hammers this Thursday, but I don't want to drop off my brand new fenders while experimenting. HAHA!

Thanks for the feedback. If anyone else has some more first hand experience, let me know!

So, this goes to my question I asked on the previous page of this thread. If I get the methods w/ 0 offset, or the Fuels w/+6 or +14, or the Robby Gordons w/+25 (assume all of these are 17x8.5) can I do this without my tires hitting the flares and rubbing:

Exactly what I have been trying to get an answer to? Anybody who has actually tested theirs yet?

Sorry for stupid newbie question. 20" wheel with 35 x 12.5 x 20 vs 18" wheel with 35 x 12.5 x 18. Overall size of both wheels is same? I mean height, width..? The 18" has just smaller rim but bigger tire?

You got it. All mfgr's are slightly different but you're correct on the sidewall difference. BFG is 34.4 but a Toyo might me 34.7 for example. Most companies list their exact specs on their websites.
