So it was the Method 703s that come in a 17.8.5 6x135 25/5.78" that I was looking at PRIOR to the Alcons.


Not sure what I even should be looking at now with these brakes, but as stated before, I dig the look of the OE 19-20 bead lock ready (less their weight) wheels. If I were being true to myself (more function over form) I'd probably end up with the lighter bead grip Methods if I can find something that will fit. Sadly, if I am going to end up with a less desirable form, wish I could at least pick a different color... there are so many "voices" I sometimes forget which ones I usually listen to :p
Do the Alcon's fit MR703s with 0 offset?

I believe the alcon spacer is 7mm, that would make 0 offset -7 offset which is 42 mm different from factory. For us Americans that is 1.77 inches pushed out. Literally making the track width 3 inches wider over all.

That sure seems like a ton to clear calipers that clear factory wheels. Tells me method has a barrel smaller than the 16 inch on my F350.
Dude don’t over complicate this. Buy one wheel from a vendor on here that allows returns. Done. Method thought my wheels would not work with the alcons. they were wrong.

The 705 has 0 and +25 off set options. Waiting to get set up with a new distributor, who has both ICON and Method. Well see what they have in stock. Then make a decision. Current distributor only has 2 of the ICON in stock the Methods are on a 10 day back order it says.

Finally got my Alcons installed. My Raptor is a 2020 so I installed the electronic brake kit from Alcon which is upgraded rotors and pads that reuse factory rear calipers. I also had crown stainless lines including on the rear axle (six brake lines in total). Once the pads were bedded, these brakes are insane. I’m really happy with this kit.e5924fee-8352-40d5-a73a-fbf253df5d3f.jpeg
