Yep, Discount Tire carries the solution!Did you find or use any hub centric rings by chance? Seems like 64.1 to 76.1 is a hard one to find. Found one brand but reviews say it doesn’t sit flush with the wheel

Yes, Black Rhino Arches. I think with the ATs at 255/55 they filled the rear pretty nicelyMy bad. Didn’t look close enough and assumed those were mr502’s with +38mm. I’m sure I can find them but what model are those? Thanks for the response. Bobbyleechan mentioned if he were to install the 502’s he would add spacers on the rears, so just trying to sort out how much since I don’t have the wheels to measure.
link to video?Small world. I saw a YouTube short if your car ripping in snow. That’s actually the first time I saw methods on a Y. To this day you’re black Y build with roof rack is my favorite I’ve seen, by a lot. The tire looks to fit the rear wheel well nicely. Did you have hub spacers on that build? Or is that just the regular 18x8 +38mm offset with 255/55 tires? Looking forward to seeing the new build!
link to video?
Thank you!
Best looking stance to me. Putting in order for all black arches and toyo at III’s tomorrow.
18x9 is really too wide for a real off road setup. 18x8 is ideal.BRAID Winrace T (cast)
BRAID Forged UR4 (forge)
OZ Racing Rally gravel design (cast)
Can all be made in 18x9.0 5x114.3 ET+30mm, not sure about where to go to get the OZ one as most places carry some cookie cutter sizes.. still curious if 265/55R18 would fit or not
I looked more at the calculators online and the only gain from that 18x9 is +5.5mm ride height, hardly anything to write home about and drawbacks include even worse range ... yeah I think 18x8 is the sweet spot.18x9 is really too wide for a real off road setup. 18x8 is ideal.
Sorry for the delay! This post shows the Methods without the lift. I looked at a lot of options, including the BR Arches, but after getting Analysis Paralysis, I decided to just go with the Methods, since they guaranteed fit on the MYP. Some pics below to sway you toward the MethodsOh and one last thing and forgive my ignorance please:
when you say they had to add weights when mounting the wheels, what is that all about?
thanks again

For Model Y Long Range though ... maybe Model 3 aero wheels rev 2 are a supprior option, sure its 8.5 instead of 8 and offset is 40mm instead of 30mm like the BR or 38mm like Method but the aero cover should help make up some of the lost range due to tires
Thoughts?

When they go to balance the wheels, they add weights, and if those weights aren't added in the correct area (as far inboard as possible) they'll rub on the parking brake and make a fun 'tick tick tick' noise whenever you drive.
Can't wait to see what you go with!

Can't beat that price!Beautiful. Well done. Love the rear spare tire setup as well. Very practical. What carrier is it?
Nice. Well done.Can't beat that price!
The carrier is my own build. I liked the RigD setup but couldn't stomach the price, so I made this thing, which allowed me to control the distance to the bumper and offset the tire so I still had a useable rear camera.
Do you have any good photos of your setup? I just ordered the MPP lift and am looking at which tires/wheels to getJust fyi we ended up replacing the UP setup with MPP coilovers and 2" lift. The UP never stopped squeaking unfortunately. Same wheels, and we're running 255/55R19 all around.
255/55R19 is a 30 inch tire. Does that fit? I thought the max was 29.5 inches.Just fyi we ended up replacing the UP setup with MPP coilovers and 2" lift. The UP never stopped squeaking unfortunately. Same wheels, and we're running 255/55R19 all around.
Whoa - I've just been running 41-42 PSI. I tried lower pressures once to see if it helped with ride quality. I didn't notice an improvement, so I went back up. I'm concerned going lower will ruin my already fuel economy. I love the fat tires with no hubcaps, but it kills your economy (along with my heavy foot).What tire pressure are you guys running? According to tiresize.com a 255/55R18 should be at 36 on the Model Y.
