35s on Method MR305 NV wheels on Ranger Raptor :)

I noticed that you mentioned +25 for your 4 wheels and +35 offset for your spare. Is that correct? Or was that a typo?

Ope, yep, you're correct - that's a typo. All 5 wheels are exactly the same. Good catch!

Awesome. Just ordered same wheels and I didn’t order a 5th because I didn’t think it would fit. I’m putting 35x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja boss ATs on it. I may have the installer try to put 1 of the 4 in the spare spot and if it fits order another for the spare.

Should fit! It’s a pretty tight fit in general. You place the face of the wheel towards the bed so the inner part of the wheel is facing down. Fairly certain the face of the wheel does not actually touch the frame, the tire does, so you don’t have to worry about it scratching up the spare.

So I read the whole thread.. looks great btw.. but did I read correctly, or not read for that matter, that it’s not lifted at all?
jo perch collars or lift pucks ?
im debating on installing 35’s myself but i dont want to install collars or much.

I got mine back but I think I’m going to find a budget 35 to throw on my spare wheel for now.

Looks great! Do you have a matte PPF installed? Maybe it's just the lighting, but it looks epic too.

Thanks! Yes. I have a matte PPF over my Shelter Green. ?

I knew it! Jealous. I should have done the same with mine when new. Looks awesome!

Hey all, I was able to mount these things today and they look absolutely incredible. Tire and wheel specs below.

Wheels: Method MR305 NV's, 17X8.5, +25 offset

Tires: 35x12.5R17 TOYO Open Country A/T III

Nothing rubbed until close to full lock. I did have to trim a bit on the front and rear bars which sit behind the wheels, but if you looked in the wheel wells you'd never notice. And no, I will not be lifting the front with a leveling kit. I'll be adding more weight to the rear soon, so I am not worried about a small bit of rake.

For those who are interested, YES, a full size MR305 NV + 35 ATIII does fit under the truck for a spare (in the stock location, without any trimming or hitting the exhaust.

Ride is about the same as stock, tbh. I don't notice any more road noise, too, surprisingly.

Last, I did use balance beads this go around, instead of wheel weights. I prefer not to gunk up the wheels and have fears they'll leave residue or fly off (the latter happened to me in the past).

Regardless, I can't be more happy with how it turned out.

what are you going to do about your spare tire? does a 35 fit in the OEM spare tire mount?

Yes, a true 35 fits under the truck in the stock location and with the stock hardware, which is where mine is!

That matt PPF looks nice! I love the matt finish. BTW, to the OP, how far down does the spare tire stick? I would imagine it would reduce your departure angle because of the tire's added width...? Then again, you might get it back by the added ride height, so may be a wash or even slight gain.

You’re right, it does stick down a little, but it’s barely noticeable. The extra ride height helps, absolutely, and the tire is ever so slightly rakes up towards the hitch. Here’s a pic from today after a snowfall.

That is great to hear!

Sorry for the late reply - yes they do. But they came with them when ordered. You can see the purple ring in the image below.

How did you get the push-through center caps to work with the hub centric rings? I thought these wheels were lug centric and the installation of the push through center caps prevented the use of the rings?
