Aftermarket Wheels & Tire size/offset photos

Hi All. Got a question. Just purchase a set of 18" Fuel Vector D-579 Wheels. The center cap for the rear is too shallow to go over my seals. Hoping there is a longer center cap that fits the rear. Anyone else have this problem?

Why this wheel and not the nearly identical Method 305? You basically get the same wheel with method weighting 9 pounds less. I made this choice 2 years ago when i noticed a whooping 42lbs per wheel.

The 18" Method 305 didn't come in a +1 offset.

Fair enough if thats what you were after. Still i wish they (and most other fuel wheels) came at a lighter weight.
 
Agreed.
 
What is the wheel color called? They really look good. I have a carbonized grey that I think those would look good on also. Thanks
They only have them in Grey,Black, or Bronze- They would look great on a carbonized grey. My truck only has 1.5" block under front spring seat.

These just showed up in my garage. I'll throw on the stock wheels and tires when I expect to need a more aggressive tread pattern and will stick with a smoother A/T tire for the majority of my driving. I'll post pics with them on the truck in a day or two. I haven't seen much info out there on the Nexen Rodian ATX and they come at a very good price point. I figure I'll give them a shot and let you all know how they work for me. I'm about to order a set of RokBloks to make sure I'm not spraying the side of the truck unnecessarily.

- Nexen Rodian ATX tires in 285/75R18 (129S - 3 peak snowflake rated - 60k treadwear warranty - 3 ply sidewall) I haven't seen many reviews on the Rodian ATX, so I figured I'd just give them a try and let you all know how they turn out.
- Method MR705 bead grip wheels in 18x9 +18 matte black
- 99lb 2oz mounted & balanced with TPMS (Stock wheel/tire with 17.3k miles - 92lb 10oz)

Based off purely a visual comparison and internet specs, the Nexen Rodian ATX looks to be comparable in tread void size to the Falcon A/T4W. The A/T4W has much more aggressive and thicker tread on the sidewall, but is several pounds heavier (&~$50 more expensive per tire). Both have a 60k treadwear warranty, are S speed rated, and are 3 peak mounted snowflake rated. The pattern of the tread blocks also make it look like the Roadian ATX is a bit more biased toward smooth highway driving (vs off road biting edges) with 5 distinct linear tread block sections vs the A/T4X with the center three tread block sections having more overlap with each other.
