Method 703 - Bore size for hybrid OF

[xianmacx]

Hi Folks,

I have a hybrid offroad with 18" wheels. I just picked up a set of 703 Methods. I am now reading they may be different bore sizes and not actually fit my truck?

Any ideas if this is the case?

Method 703 Bore size - 106.25

Wheels I purchases - +35 offset

They will fit just fine. The hub bore on the wheel is larger than what is on the truck. Method Wheels are lug-centric, so they will be fine, or you can get hub-centric rings if you want to do that.

You'll be fine....i freaked out about the same thing but Methods and aftermarket wheels have to fit so many bore sizes they use 106mm as a universal size.... If you have any issues after installing you can get the hub centric rings like someone mentioned.... Mine have been fine... Make sure you get new Lugs too... Won't work with stocks

One thing to note here, wheels can be either hub centric or lug centric. Lug centric wheels have indents in the bolt holes that fit over the corresponding shape on the base of the lug on the hub. Stock lugs on the Tacoma DO NOT have any shape on the base and so wheels cannot be fitted lug centrically. The result is the gaps between the lugs and holes in the wheel make it impossible to centre on the hub. Theres no maybe, you absolutely need hub rings to centre the wheels correctly. These rings are just cheap plastic rings that fill the gap between the wheel bore and the hub bore. Once installed, the lugs take all the load, the rings are just there to centre the wheel.

Can confirm. Fuel wheels 18” used hub centering rings with zero issues.

I plan to order the set from method but It seems they may be out of stock.

you dont need to buy new lugs if you use a hub ring. Accessory shops or wheel shops should be able to supply these if they are installing your tires/wheels

I’m pretty sure he needs 14mm splines. He should consult with the wheel manufacturer or a quality tire/wheel store, not random internet strangers.

Yes the Trailhunter wheels will go right on your OR. Same lugs will work. Recommend you do the tpms sensors when you mount and balance the tires.
