So I just purchased a 6 inch rough country lift and it should be in the mail in a few days. I now need to select wheels and tires for my truck. I have narrowed it down to 18 inch method mesh wheels wrapped in 35 inch nitto trail grapplers. I like the look of the tired poping out last the wheel wells( about an inch and a half or 2). I'm trying to figure out what offset/backs pacing I should go with in order to achieve this. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Are you planning on getting a set custom drilled? Because the Method site only lists the Mesh wheels with a 5.75" backspacing for the 6x135mm bolt pattern in a 18". If you want the wheel to stick out you really want around 4.5-4.75" of backspacing on a 9" wide wheel.

 

Dang! I didn't even think to check that. That would probably be pretty close to flush with the wheel wells huh?

 

Might be tucked in a little, but I think the backspacing would still be too high to be compatible with your lift kit. Pretty sure Rough Country calls for a wheel with 4.5-5" of backspacing.

Method does make the wheels with the correct backspacing you'd need just with the wrong bolt pattern. So you might want to try calling them and see if they'll drill the 6x135mm pattern onto one of the other wheels.

 

I have the same lift and I'm running a 18x10 with 5"bs(-12) with 315/70/18 Toyo MT. The fit is great with no rubbing. I do have a N-fab front bumper that adds a some clearance on the front. I think you would be fine with the 35x12.5

 

I just installed the 17" Method Mesh wheels on Toyo Open Country M/T's. I ordered the stock 6 bolt lug pattern, and the wheels do stick out a bit without any modifications.
