New setup: 36x13r18 Toyo MTs on BMF Novakanes

Hey Guys and Girls,

In about 15 minutes my new set of tires will be delivered. I went with 315x70r18 Toyo MTs. These are about 35.7 inches tall and 13 inches wide. I am running mid perch so hopefully I will have little to no rubbing. I'll post pictures of these tires ASAP comparing them to the stockers.


Ive ran into a problem with the wheels though. BMF Novakanes 18x9 have been backordered for at least a couple of weeks. (DEALERS CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE/GET A SET OF 4)

They are 0mm offset, so should hopefully put the tires out there far enough to avoid rubbing.

I know this is an odd setup... not sure if anyone is running this. I like the large wheel look, but wanted to keep the large sidewall for offroading and raptor runs. Hopefully this will be the perfect setup for me.

Keep posted for photos of the tires... they'll make great garage ornaments for the next few weeks unless someone can help me out before then!

Was a little disappointed in the width difference... Until I remembered there's 6000 pounds on the stockers at the moment which I'm sure adds to their width look.

Thanks for the Tease.

Hopefully the wheels will be in soon.

Great tire choice. It will be interesting to hear your experiences as this could open up a new door for 36" tires, versus the things required for 37s.

18's are fine as you still have plenty of sidewall. It's the 20s that kill offroading performance.

I'm not familar with those wheels, so Im looking forward to seeing the final outcome.

I've heard that the noise these toyos put off are extremely close to the noise level of the bfgs.... My trucks my daily driver so that's pretty important to me. Can't wait to get them on!

Wheels will look like these... Just 18s not 20s obviously... And tires will be slightly bigger (35s are pictured). Same offset. I'm loving this look!







Forget who's truck this is... But you inspired the look I'm going for! Great looking truck!

Slightly louder, but not bad at all considering they have one of the most aggressive treads out there.

Your gonna love em....especially when you hit the dirt!

I don't know if ill be able to wait on those wheels... Any suggestions for 18x9 0mm offset?

KMC Enduros or XD125s?

All of the Methods are available in 18X9, but they all have an 18MM offset. Only the 17" Methods come in 0MM offset per my search at Tirerack.

D538 - Maverick - Fuel Off-Road Wheels

These are kind of cool... Similar to what I was looking at before

those look great. i've been looking at that same tire for some time now. in the pics they look taller than i was expecting. i hope i can still fit in the garage when i install them. i have about 3 maybe 4" clearance on stock tires and mid perch so i should be ok. and once they are on and 3 tons pushing down on them should still have an inch to spare. i'm looking to go with method nv's in 18x9 with a +18 offset. they are also backordered at the moment though so if you're in a hurry to install might have to branch out from method and bmf.

keep us posted and post pics and updates on fit (rubbing, noise, wear, etc).

thanks in advance!
