Ideally an incredibly cheap rash ring. Something along the lines of what TeraFlex does that's plastic so it's cheap and damage isn't noticable. That's the opposite of what AEV does with their ~$700 protection rings.
It depends what you want. Both will fit. No offset will have the tires tucked in with more coverage by fenders, less mud and rocks being kicked up on the vehicle, and closer to legal. -12 will have them sticking out a little more for more stability and maybe a little more protection to the fenders.
Well I pulled the trigger today and got the Icon Rebounds in Bronze today @Discount Tire near me in Texas City. The Bronze will look good with Sting Gray. I was going to go with the Method 703s, but I am sucker for utilizing different and newer technology. Thanks for all of the suggestions and use experiences on both products.
Discount Tire were extremely helpful and made assure to confirm with me that they had the step by step instructions for installing the wheels correctly and made sure that the Interlock screws were also in stock and shipping with the wheels. Discount Tire was able to price match my offer (PM me if you would like to know the price), they should be in next week to install. I will be listing 5 like new Fuel Assault wheels in the coming weeks if anyone is interested.
If you watch the Outdoor Auto review of the Method Bead Grips there is a 20% off code for On X offraod gps maps. Once you buy the Elite Membership for $79. You gain access to 25% off Method wheels if you want to take that to you Tire people to price match.
After you sign up they give you a one time coupon code that you use on the Method website. Screen shot that quote and take it to your Tire shop to match it.
There ar also a bunch of other dealers that offer discounts, Northridge 4x4, ARB, Warn, Baja Designs and others. Well worth the Elite Membership for On X Offroad.
If i had to go back and do it over again I would probably do the 8.5 +0, the -12 sticks out a bit further than I was expecting and I think the 9" wheel has lead to a little of my issues with keeping air in them with a 315, will probably go to a 13.5 wide tire when I buy new ones to see what happens.
If you don't want the OnX and just want the wheels, go to the Outdoor Auto video on Youtube and look down in the comments. He has a 20% off Method wheels link there. Follow the link. Get the the code. Put together what you want on Method's website, then go to Discount Tire and show them your Method order at checkout with the 20% off and they will match it. I did this last Wednesday and my new MR703s will be here Monday.
I do not know how often I will use On X, but you do get more than just the Method 25% off discount. You have access to other discounts including, ARB, Artec, Baja Designs, Bulletpoint, JKS, Moorflate, Northridge 4x4, Warn, Yukon Gear and Axle and even more. So to me, it is worth it even just for one year.
By now, they should be paying me.
