In anticipation of my soon to be mounted 275/70/18 rims and tires, I order the ARK mudflaps to avoid paint damage. The tires I chose say in the description that they are design to expel rocks in the tread, so yeah. Better safe than sorry...
I guessed your rim at 8.5 wide. With that, your tire is 4% wider than mine, which barely fits.
Iād be cautious before going all in on that tire Size and get a test fit, first.
Thatās a wider tire with an offset pushing the tire outwards. It could rub at full turn or under turn and compression. Iām doing 275\70\18 and it barely fits. Iāll pop your settings into a figment calculator and see if your settings are wider than mine.
Thanks, I had a local tire shop test fit a 275/70/18 with a tire they have on hand and itās just barely squeezes in. The tire i want is .15 wider than the tire they measured with. Probably will work. weāll know when the tires arrive. I ordered Methodās lugs yesterday.
I would wrap enough above the windshield and rear window so it looks like a complete job, but doesnāt have to be fully wrapped. I personally would want a complete black appearance.
Not a done deal yet, but I did some fitment checking on my new method 316ās and a 275/70r/18. It clears the Goodyear tire they had in stock, by about a quarter inch between the tire and mudflap. The Toyo OC AT3 EVās are just a hair wider so itās going to be a nail biter.
just ordered methodās...
Thanks, thatās good the hear. It sounds like only my offset +18 is different from your setup. Iām going to a Indy shop this morning and the owner wanted to manually measure clearances and will then advise on what he thinks will fit. Iām hoping I can truly fit the 275 as itās the height and size...

I went to Americaās tire because I wanted to see the Nitto Terra Grabber G3 and Toyo OC AT3 EV tires in person. I talked with them about the tireās fitment on the Methods I recently bought.
Wheels: Methods 316 18 x9 6x139.7 + 18.
Tires: 275 70R 18.
Basically, they said that tire size is in...
Maybe go to a wheel/tire place and say ālook, Iām going to buy a set of wheels and tires from you today, but youāll need to mount 3 different options so i can see it in person on my truckā. I Bet They will accommodate you.
I saw an f150 with like 10 inches of poke yesterday. I went with +18. They will poke a bit depending on the tire i choose. I talked with method about it before buying them from a seller on this forum and they said poke would be minimal. Zero offer would definitely poke.
