Are these titanium or matte black 309s?

Titanium

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.

Any more pics of a stock suspension 2 Door JL with 285/70/17s on any 700 series Methods? Front, side shots? Bonus points for a Rubicon with highline flares. Ordered the 701s for my new Rubicon and worried the stock tires might look skinny after a little poke is added due to the wheels.

Boom!….

Finally arrived (of course they forgot the 5th wheel for the spare so that is coming)…

Went with the 703 to get the +25 offset. Didn’t want the tires to poke out too much.

Another vote for the Method MR703 in Matte Black. I selected a wheel spec that matches what companies like AEV and others use to get the performance characteristics I'm currently looking for. I went with the Method 703s for weight savings, performance and looks vs the other brands I shopped.

Do I need to buy a new set of lug nuts for these wheels? Or I can use the stock ones.

The Method wheels use spline , at least the 700 series do

That was just an EVO 2.5” boost w falcon shocks and the teraflex control arm relocation brackets. Didn’t swap the coils.

Also, if I had known how much wider the new axles were on the JLs, I would have went with 12.50 tires. The 13.50s were a little wider than I prefer.

Did you ever swap out spacers for coils? If so why?

No. I thought the ride quality was as solid as stock and I didn’t wheel that Jeep so I was happy with the spacer performance.

I’m looking at 703 or 705
