Question for you all - if I want to get 17 x 8.5 Methods to use with the stock tires, what offset would I want to have the same stance/profile as the factory set up? I think I've read that Methods only come in 0 offset? How would that compare to where the factory wheels sit? I don't mind them sticking out a little more but certainly don't want anything sticking out way past the fenders. If anyone has pictures of their Raptor with Methods/factory tires I would sure appreciate it![/QUOTE]

You can find a lot of aftermarket wheel info here

But the Method 0 offset is 1.30 inches wider than stock...they'll stick out a little farther, but will still look ok and mostly tucked inside the wheelwell.
Good luck with the new truck and congrats!!

You can check pics of mine in the First Impressions and Pics threads here of how far they stick out. Normally I wouldn't be concerned but the painted door handles take a beating and the paint seems kind of brittle on the plastic handle... I had a small chip right away and there is black plastic under the painted AG handles. I'd recommend running a mudflap if rock chips bother you.

I posted some pics of the Husky Longjohns in the mudflap thread in the Exterior forum as well, they are reasonably priced and you can choose how much coverage you want. I stuck mine about 3/4 inch out and they go nearly to the top of the flare.

And nice truck man, congrats! I'm with you, loving the truck including the exhaust note.

I think stock offset is -34. If the Methods you are looking for are a 0 offset, then that would equate to around 1.5" further out than stock.

Assuming the raptor wheels are 17x8.5", the offset is +34 so a 0 offset would sit out 1.34" further out than stock.

Nice truck. Congrats. Even though I have AG on order, I still have not seen one in person. They show up around here as sold orders and disappear quickly. Going to the car show this weekend and hoping they have it there. Just need to see in person before my order is pulled.....

So, about 1.5".........

The Methods do stick out further, but i think it's a good look. If it ever stops raining here i can get you some better pics of how they look
