Default Method Race Wheel Question?
I really like the method race wheels but the 17" only comes in 4.75 backspacing. I will be putting on a 3" Lift with 35x12.50R-17LT Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Will 4.75 backspacing work or will it rub?

Tires

I run the Double Standards with BFG AT 315/70-17. No rub/interference at all.

Check out the KMC XD Strike wheels. Look very similar but with a 4'' BS. In case you ever want to go bigger. And about $40-$50 a wheel cheaper.
