Haven’t had time to hit the trails yet but had to get some 17x9 wheels in prep for my lift kit. 37s slowly becoming possible. They are method 701s with that “bead grip”

Hopefully, this thread can help me out. I am looking to purchase the M106, it has a -44mm offset and 3.5'' backspacing. I plan on running this on a 3.5 MC lift on 37 or 38s. How much will the tires stick out past the wheel well? @Speedy3 are you able to take a side view picture? Also, will I rub at a full turn with this setup? I have a Sport S. Thank you!

Did this setup rub on stock height? I’m trying to do something until I do lift but wanted to know if you had rubbing. What offset are you wheels?

Quick question, did these wheels fit over the back up camera and did you use the OEM lug nuts. Looking at these for mine.

Thanks
Also what offset is it.

The method bronze looks awesome on your rig!! My sting grey 2 door Willys is getting the titanium 704s tomorrow,. I’m not so sure I’m going to like em as much as what you have going on due to the lack of contrast with anything. Grey rig, grey tires and black tires. Not too exciting. Just couldn’t handle looking at all the black wheels out there anymore. ( mine included.

Method 704s aren’t too shabby in titanium. That’s just my opinion. Just went to a 285/70/17 tire and noticed the Jeep automatic shifting just a little sluggish.

Has anyone tested the bead grip? Curious how well it performed. Going into the winter season it’s common to go sub 10psi

I have the 702's and I run them 10-15psi and not had a problem. Method promotes 10psi on the site. I ran beadlocks for awhile and just got tired of the effort I had to put in to change a valve stem, a dead TPMS sensor, or tire. These seemed to fit my need for a good compromise. The ability to have an up to 40% less chance of these de-beading than a standard rim was all I needed to sell the beadlocks. I'm mindful these are not bead locks however and try to drive according, but I always have a spare and a bottle jack if I do de-bead one. (which has never happened)
