Can't balance my method nv's

[Ramrodthrusterpuppy]

i was thinking about using these when my double standards come in.
do the beads mess with our tpms sensors? anything i need to change over? would love to have these inside and not have shit stuck on the back of the wheel.

No issues with TPMS or anything else. As far as the DynaBeads "suck" comment, again it all has to do with the correct application/installation. Use too little of the beads and they won't balance, use too much and they will collect on one side and throw off balance at speed.

For the 35/12.50/17 Toyo M/Ts on ProComp wheels, I used 8 oz per wheel and for my 37/12.50/17 BFGs on OEM beadlocks, 8.5 oz per wheel....no shimmy at all at any speed. For truck tires, I will never use stick/clamp on wheel weights again.

METHODS are not hub centric…..they are lug centric.

Aaah! Good luck with those......

Another thing to consider is keeping the inside of the tire dry. My Toyos came with a slight oily residue on the inside. Talcum powder & left them in the sun for a couple of hours before mounting.

I bought 20 inch fuel rims with 35x12.5 pro comps had same problem......you definitely need hub rings......I work in a machine shop I made rings that press into rims and .003 clearance for the hub......problem went away.......I did road force balancing, powder balancing, all failed made the rings used sticky weights smooth as glass

Very true! Also don't use too much tire lube when mounting as excess will collect on the inside of the tire and the beads will clump/stick together. Again, it all boils down to correct application/installation.

Update

I went to a shop today that had a lug-centric adapter. (Took the first tire off, the center cap fell on the floor and broke into two pieces.)
The right front was 2 ounces out the other three were good.
They removed the tires and all the weights from each wheel. They checked each wheel before they re-mounted the tires, balanced each tire with the lugs that came with the rims, re-mounted them and we went for a test drive. The issue I was having at 70 mph is gone, it now shows up at 75 mph.
3 hours and $175 later, they suggested center ring adapters.
After this fiasco today I'm waiving the white flag.


I'm having my stock rims put back on tomorrow after which I'm going to turn these NV wheels into boat anchors minus the rope.

I had the same issue with a set of Method NVs on my 2011. I ran the stock tires and a brand new set of dura tracs. Both combinations had vibrations. 5 different shops tried to balance including two of them being Ford dealerships. No luck.

If you are giving them away, I will take a couple for spairs.

Not trying to be a **** but... Instead of being pissed off and bitching relentlessly about this issue, why don't you try and call method (who has amazing customer service) and see if they can't work something up for you. A LOT of people on here run method wheels with no issues and it seems that the nv's are the only ones with balance issues and rubbing issues on the newer brake calipers.
Like I said, not trying to be a **** about it but others have given advice about the issue and yet every time I read an update it's the same thing I read in the first post. Sorry for your wheel troubles, that sucks. Good luck bro! Time for more bourbon.

I hate aftermarket wheels - period.

All of them. In the long run, they are junk. Or the short run in your case.

Actually it's the Double Standards that people are having caliper clearance issues with.

Some Method wheels are neither... like the ones the OP has. LOL
