First off, this is my second Raptor since joining the forum, but I've been mostly a lurker to this point. This community has been the biggest resource for both of my Raptors, so thanks to all of you that contribute. I'm going to make it a priority to participate more in the future.
I've searched the forums and as a result ordered bump stop mounts, Geisers and +3 Deavers that should be delivered early next week. I also ordered 37x13.50R18 Cooper STT Pros that were already delivered, as well 18" bronze Method MR305 NVs, which have a 9 inch width and -12mm offset. Once they arrived I realized I ordered the wrong lug pattern, so they're being returned as we speak.
Most posts I've found mention Geisers, Deavers, but with 37x12.5 tires. I really wanted to go with 18 inch wheels and also wanted Cooper STT Pros, but they don't make a 12.5 wide tire in that size. Not to mention, I wouldn't mind a wider tire either so I got 37x13.5s. Now that I'm going to have to reorder wheels I thought it might be time to check and make sure this setup will even work without rubbing (with minimal trimming of the inner fender liner). If not, do you have a recommendation for offset on an 18 inch wheel that will accomodate the 13.5 inch wide tires, giving it the most aggressive stance, but not needing any major modifications? I'm not 100% dead set on the Methods I already ordered and would be open to pretty much any brand or style/color.
Thanks in advance for your help!
