Not caps, but honestly it looks better without caps. I didn't care much for the method caps. They are supposed to come out with some in a few months that will fit, but I'll leave it as is.

I like your taste. Just had these installed. 35x12.50 R18 Nitto Ridge Grappler on Method Grid Titanium. Truck is stock height for now. I have had it rub but only slightly.

Wheels stick out more than I thought which sucks. Truck is a mess, will have to add flaps once I get some space after suspension.

So far I really like the tires and the look.

Nice! Like those Ridge Grapplers. What's the offset on the wheels? Could you grab a couple shots straight down the side of the truck?

Don't stick 'em out too much...

I have the snow plow package, so it's almost level right off the lot. That being said, I went from my factory 245 17's to 20" rims with General AT2's in 35x12.5R20 tires. They BARELY stick out, maybe 1/2". No level, no lift, no rub. I did remove the front mud flaps. I will re-contour the front flaps with a heat gun a bit, as the inner corner rubbed a little at full lock. My rims are Granite Alloy 20's with a +19mm offset.



Granite Alloy 8-spokes 20x9" with +19mm offset.



Not a great pic to see offset, but it's only about 1/2"



You can sort of see the rear offset. I think it's about perfect.



Totally digging the tires and wheels. Just what this truck needed, IMHO.

Just a tad extended. I think it's perfect, just what I wanted. Not too much.



Left side.



Really like the look of the truck with this wheel/tire combo. 👍🏼

I managed 295/65R20 Tokyo AT 2 extreme on a set of procomp 20" x 9" rim with +6 offset on stock truck. The front tire did rub the mud flap and required an offset bracket. The truck it's self had no clearance issues.

A full size spare fit under the box just fine. Short box crew f350.

The stick out is next to nothing as far as I am concerned. The sidewall sticks out slightly.

Quick question that I haven't been able to find an answer to. Why is everyone upgrading to 18-20"+ wheels? My truck came with 16" wheels. Keep seeing get the bigger sizes, but why? Do the help with fuel milage? Stress on the drive train? Performance with thinner sidewalls? Don't the tires cost more for the same size, just a bigger wheel? Just curious.

I went the other way. I want more rubber. Truck came with 20's. Thought about going to a 17" but I didn't like how close it was to the Calipers so I ended up with 35's on 18's

mine are plus 18 also but a 9" rim. Yours appear to stick out more. Is that a 10" rim?
