Thanks for including yours mgmetalworks.
Could you include the particulars so those that want to go your route know what to order? You also might wanna tell everyone why 6.
Someone is sure to ask...

I am one of those tracking your build thread as well.

Tires: Toyo Open Country R/T size LT285/75R18 (34.8" tall x 11" wide)

Why 6? I'm designing a rear bumper with multi-use swing arms so to showcase its ability to hold two spares, I got two extra tires/wheels.

I'd love to see how those look on the van! Just checked out the Method website and they have some sweet wheels!

They are on a 4X4 conversion we sent out a week or so ago and I don't have any pictures. I'll see if anyone else does.

We are a Method dealer and good friends with the guys that started Method Wheels several years ago.

I've raced on their wheels for years.

Those Holes, best looking so far and Toyo's will be the combo I'm going with. I might try the grayish ones instead of the black ones though...

Those Toyo Open Country R/T tires will be my next set. 295/70R17's E rated.
Looks like a good all around tread pattern.

It looks like the van pictured on top has a WTD lift and trimmed/cut fenders. Even so, how did you get the 285/75/17s to work without making contact with the fender while turning and full wheel / suspension travel?

[BajaSportsmobile]

No, both of these are our 4X4 TTB Conversions. We also did the fender modifications.

Jeremy made his radius arms similar to our's.

Wonder if u can order them methods without the poser beadlock bolts. Prefer them clean.

Tires:
285/75/17 Nitto Trail Grappler
Actual measurement: 34.1" x 11.6"
Load range E 3195lbs @ 80psi

Wheels:
American Eagle "012"
17x9
4.75" backspacing / -5mm offset
load rating: 3420 lbs

I trimmed the backside of the front fender about 1" and have zero rubbing there at full compression regardless of where the wheels are pointed. I also spaced out the stock bumper 1/2" (using plate washers) and the tire can just graze the bumper if I bottom out with the wheels turned.

Is that of any help to you?
