First of all sorry for may bad Englis, non native.

Long story short, have 2018 Raptor, plan was to install, alcon breaks, new wheels, upgrade shocks to 3.0, deaver +3 HD, ADV +2 fenders and bedsides and 37 Nitto mud grapplers.

Installed Icon shocks, deavers, so truck is lifted a bit.
Installed Alcon brake kit, it came with 8mm spacers, which fits my OEM beadlock wheels. But now i have Fuel Zephyr 101D beadlocks, and here is problem, they would not fit with Alcon bakes, spacers included with brake kit is also no go, they wobbles. Only one which worked was hubcentric 1 inch spacers, but now truck does not look as good and also tires rubb on fender when i turn more than 24 dgerees, even 35s.

Anyone had similar combos? Any way to fix this?

p.s. I live in Georgia, (Europe) so not that many shops here for US made trucks. Have to buy everything in USA and then import parts, so i can't go to shop and test all spacers one by one sadly.

HELL I ZONA
Sounds like the offset is not correct for new wheel on your set up . if stock wheels worked with the spacers you need to find wheel with similar offset spacing.

I contacted Method Wheels and this was their reply.
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out!
Per our engineers: “305, 306, 308, 310, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 701, 702, 703, 704, are all ok to use with the Alcon kit.”

Is that style method hub centric. Have you tried running the new rim without the spacer. The method rim is probably 0 offset. You shouldn’t need the spacer with a 0 offset rim.

Yes, I had the 309’s. Too bad they’re not on the list and they didn’t even fit with the 7 mm spacer.
