New Method Wheels for my Raptor

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I finally did it I went to a zero offset wheel and switched from the OEM wheels. It only took me four years. I was getting some rubbing with the new suspension on OEM wheel positive offset so it was time to switch it up!

    Love the blue wheels. Another option could be adding the bead lock rings to the stock wheels. That also will pull the wheel to the outside.

    100% agree on the 37s. Practicality wise on the Gen 2, there's just so much you have to do if you want to do it the right way. If you want to use stock fenders, you can pretty much forget it. Great for a pavement princess but not for something you're going to use as intended. The Methods look pretty good! My 19 is Ford Performance Blue so a little different shade then yours. Still searching for the perfect wheel to grab in the spring. Have fun! Be safe!

    Nice truck! I appreciate REAL off-road rigs!!! You are definitely in that camp. I see soooo many (not hate, just observations) Raptors with 20"+ wheels that neuters the truck from what it was designed for; off-roading. Also I cannot agree more. People are fixated on having to run 37's, I have heard too many horror stories about things NOT working out as planned. 35's on most trucks, the Raptor included along with properly sized 17" wheels gets the job done.👍

    I might go to 37's when I stop making this my daily driver too 😂. If you primarily Offroad with the truck and do the needed trimming of the pinch welds + re-gear than running 37's has its benefits Offroad.

    I put 37s on my Gen 2 after some eibach springs and some +1 offset wheels. I only had to trim the wheel well back, it looks OEM and it rides great. I take it off-roading and have zero issues rubbing or my suspension. I did lose about 2 mpgs but it’s minimal in comparison to how much better the truck handles and looks. Your Raptor looks great by the way!

    I may go 37's and buy a diesel truck and a trailer to tow the sucker with down to the Baja/Mojave again! In the words of Indiana Jones "It's not the years it's the mileage!"
