Methods and bottom perch??

[weimer]

Will the method wheels and stock tires fit without rubbing on the bottom perch? Thanks.

Yes

Yes bottom is standard, but mid is better. Just did mine and I think it rides and handles much smoother.

Great thanks. Mid perch will definitely be on my list also.

Wait, don't we have members on here who have thrashed their wheel well liners with stock wheels and tires?

Okay, what off-set you should acquire when buying Methods?

0 offset for Methods.

Okay... Here is the official/unofficial stance on offsets. (by my expensive personal experience)

I no longer recommend anything over 0mm offset, unless you are using your Raptor as a show truck or full time street queen. I am running -12mm offset (until next weekend) which requires being on top perch. In 16,720 miles because of negative offset wheels I have had to replace:
2 cv axles (not covered under warranty)
2 hub/wheel bearings (not covered under warranty)
A handful of stupid plastic fender clips
4 goodyear duratracs (due to wheel/hub bearings and alignment issues)
4 alignments

So I ONLY recommend 0mm - +34mm offset wheels.

Yes, I am eating crow because I was a strong supporter of negative offset wheels.
