    Been eyeing the Method Bead Grip wheels lately since I’ve been wanting to move to a wheel that supports lower PSI. What are folks opinions on them and how well have they performed off-road? A bit hesitant since they unfortunately do not offer the machined clear coat in a -12mm option. Would love if they did since spacers are not a route I want to go. IMG_4706.jpg

    I'm running Method 701 wheels on my Tacoma.
    So far, the "bead grip" is working as advertised.
    They've been down to the low teens in psi without issue (...however, I am running a stiff E load, 3-ply sidewall tire).

    Cheers

    Is the -12 offset something you need for long travel or looks? The machined 701s completely eliminated the need for spacers on my '21 and still gave it a mildly aggressive amount of "poke" without being ridiculous .

    It’s for off-roading. The tires stick out an equal distance to my rock sliders and help push the body away from obstacles while wheeling. Has saved my ass from some body damage. Here’s a photo from a trip where it did just that.
