GEN 1 Fuel vs. Method

[KODIAK]

I have Method NV's on my truck now, and have fought vibration issues because there's no shop near me that can balance them properly (I believe). What's the difference between the 6 offset on the Fuels and the 0 on the Methods? Fuel's aren't going to stick out as far as the Methods? Anyone have Trophies on their trucks and dislike them? Thanks

Correct. +6 will not stick out as far. Not a huge difference

Balancing wise, it is a hub centric wheel, so hopefully it solves your balancing issue. I had the same issue on my Methods on my old truck.

Just find a shop with good balancing machine. I have methods and zero issues with balancing them. But I did get one time a shop rebalance them and it was a nightmare driving over 60 mph. Evidently wrong calibration for balancer would do it.
Look for a shop with road force balance equipment.

I just put method roosts on my truck and have no balance issues.

Roost are hubcentric wheels.

Roost are hubcentric wheels.

The NV's arent?

The NV's arent?

No. Our bore is 87.1 IIRC. Roost are 87, and NVs are 94 along with most Method wheels.

I have double standard Methods...but again they take a lot of weight, take forever to balance and no vibration

I snagged some rings to give them a try. Will update. If they don't fix it, Fuel it is.

I liked my Mesh/had nothing bad to say about Methods.

Just sucked I couldn't find anyone to properly balance the tires with the whole hub/lug centric "issue". Trying out some different wheels this go around.
