2021 Roush/Alcon Brake Kit Install Experience on 2020 gen 2

[taco_drifter]

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.

703 | Matte Black

The 703 Bead Grip® wheel was developed for off-road enthusiasts and designed to handle the toughest trails and your next overland adventure. An iconic 12 window design and dual debossed METHOD logos help set your ride apart from the rest. The Bead Grip® technology allows deflation of tires down...

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

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.

nikhsub1 says his fit but I forget which model.

I have the 701's which are beadgrip. I think all the beadgrip wheels will fit, not positive but I have plenty of room - they are 0 offset though.

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.

Haha, I over think everything. Kind of what I do.

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.

Like night and day difference.

I need to do lines… pedal feel is all that’s missing. For you funny guys, being retired, maybe I SHOULD be doing “lines”… you slow down with age.
