Well, here's a photo of a dirty wheel and its matching dirty truck, lol. Strange, how the camera angle makes the tire look small, maybe I should've taken a lower angle shot. Anyway, here ya go...

Just a couple of quick question on an old post...
I know this is an old post but was curious if those are the 17x8.5 0 offset or the 17x9 -12 offset? Also I saw you have the 2.5 Carli backcountry, any rubbing? Thank you in advance and great looking truck!

These were 0 offset with 12.5 tires. No rubbing on the stock sway bar and radius arms.

I didn't realize the model number of my Methods; they're the 305-HD bronze. Comparing that to the 701, I actually like the wider spoke pattern of the 701's. Good choice for yours!

ABGasGuy,
That is the exact tire and wheel combo I am considering. I want the 18" 4500 lb wheel rating and the 4080 lb tire rating. Could you please post a side profile pic behind the front mud flap? From the offset I'm wondering how much the tire still extends belong the wheel well and how well the mud flap will protect the rocker panels. (I'll have less protection with the retractable running boards). Great looking setup!
