I have known for a while these are what I want... I can do the standards, double standards, 305's, 315's as long as they are polished. I will be calling them today to see if there is anything available. Getting wheels and tires right now is like pulling teeth...

No Rub on the fender well or front bumper on the full Wheel Turn…? Waiting on 22 F350 Platinum… Getting Ready to order … the same wheel set up… Can you tell me what offset you have..?
It would be much appreciated….

No trimming of any kind, no rubbing full lock to full lock. These are 0 offset

For those of you that have gone down in wheel size with Method wheels (such as from factory 20”s to 17s/18s), how has your ride been affected? I would imagine it to be softer but does handling decrease with more sidewall? Any info is appreciated.

The ride definitely changed . You cant take away that these are 3/4 ton trucks with suspension designed around carrying weight vs a plush ride. Right now i have 50 PSI up front and 45 PSI out back. There are certain things I dont feel in the road any more when compaired to the stock 20's with 65 PSI. A good example would be a rail way crossing. The higher volume tire is absorbing a good amount of the initial hit while the high rate springs still have a strong rebound. The rear doesnt bounce as much either. The same rail way crossing with 20's at 65 PSI I would have bounced in my seat a little.
As far as handeling I havent felt a difference. There is a curve I take everyday at 50 MPH and the truck isnt leaning any different than with the stock wheel/tires. These are E-rated tires so the side walls are stiff. When I haul material I air up the rear tires (these are E2 rated tires so 65 PSI MAX) and still have good handeling.
I can only imagine if you are towing super heavy loads a long distance that you would have some wondering... maybe?
My final thought is that the higher volume tires at a lower PSI softened the ride a little but ultimatly the high rate springs are the bigger determining factor to ride quality and handeling.
