  1. They are actually Method NV 17 x 8.5 (0 offset) with Toyo 285/70/17 I really like them and different than most trucks I see here in Florida. Everyone seems to want 20’s but if you take it off road the lower profile tire and more exposed rims get beat up. I didn’t want to lift the truck but wanted it leveled so I did it the proper way with suspension. I have the Fox 2.0 and just added cognito UCA’s because my stock ball joints were trashed.

  2. Correct, I thought you had it upside down as mine had alittle big of a taper to it in the center. Right at the seam is where I cut so just above your tape line in your pic and kept it the same depth all the way around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I cut it right at the seam so alittle below your tap line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Removed it from the truck then taped it off and cut it with a dremel. It’s pretty soft plastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I didn’t like the look with it completely off so I cut it in half. Best of both worlds. Still has the finished look but isn’t dragging on the ground like the stock one looks. I just took it off and cut it along the seam and reinstalled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Well my Bakflip MX-4 is getting replaced both cover and rails under warranty. Bakflip has been great about this warranty replacement contrary to what I have heard from other reviews. Nevertheless I have already went a different direction and added a Camlocker tool box. If anyone is looking for a brand new MX-4 to fit a 2014+ short bed crew cab and lives in the North Florida area...PM me an offer to pick it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. While I love the look of my truck without steps my wife and son need them... Silveradosaver's steps are my favorite so far and found an unbelievable deal for new take offs on craigslist today for them. Easy install and happy with the looks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Just sent you a PM but looking for $1200 for rims,tires,tpms,lugs and locking lug kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Got the SLT wheels and tires up for sale if anyone is interested!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Finally got my Methods!! 17x8.5 -0 offset NV machined Toyo At2 285/70/17 Fox 2.0 all around No rubbing and got more than an inch at the nearest points with zip tying the liners back. The SLT wheels/tires are up for sale if anyone is interested! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I agree and I can see the NV machined paired with my silver GMC in the near future!!! Already have Fox 2.0 all around. Can't decide on 285/70/17 or 295/70/17... Seems like the 0 offset is perfect but moves the rub away from the suspension and into the fenders with 295's. Either way, all of you running the Methods put me over the edge!!!!
  12. Any play in your CV joints? If your CV axles / joints are going they will pop when turning and you would feel this in the steering wheel. To be sure I would pull the front tires and check your axle nut is torqued to spec.
  13. Angles look very similar to mine with fox 2.0 coilovers with stock 20"s. I didn't adjust my coilovers and they brought up the front 2" out of the box. My rubbing isn't as bad but I noticed very early on and have been really careful not to go full lock in either direction. I also took it back to the shop for another alignment and everything was good. Gotta be the stamped steel arms being thicker/wider than the cast or aluminum. I believe the only option if you want to keep the wheels is spacers. I am planning to keep mine upgrade the UCAs and put it n spacers to run bigger wider tires.
  14. Well that's no bueno... I haven't looked too much at the aftermarket specs though. I might have to take trip back to the shop for them to check the alignment again. With so many others running bigger tires on these stock rims with no issues it's very strange... I hope it's the alignment which is much cheaper then new rims!
  15. I am in the same boat but I installed fox 2.0 all around. Stock tires on stock 20 rims. My rub at full lock is not as severe but it's still there. Others have mentioned wheel spacers but I am looking at aftermarket UCA's possibly camburg or cognito to fox this because I like the stock rims...
