Method NVs. Not real Beadlocks. They look like Raptor spec back spacing (not stock Raptor but what they sell for a Raptor) and can run a 12.50 tire.

How wide are they? Can you fit a 12.50 tire on them?
What is the back spacing? I am looking for a new set of wheels that will stick out about 2"s more then my current ones.
Mine are just method NV's which aren't bead locks. I'm not quite sure if they are street legal but I wouldn't see why they wouldn't be legal. And yes the 12.5 tires will fit! If you're looking for your rim to sit out that much further I recommend getting wheel spacers. That should put you out about 2 inches

Truck is looking killer Tsmith. Any plans to add fiberglass, bumpers or more lighting?


Those are Method Wheels - a bead lock look style, but not real beadlocks. Yes they are 100% legal on the street. The ProAm wheels I sell are true racing beadlocks, they may or may not be street legal in your state.

Yes I was looking at glass all around for my truck but for now I think I just want the front fenders and valence fr fiberwerx. Then I'm going to have a local shop in Vegas (MCM fab) build me a bumper with a light bar that is either made I to the bumper or sits on top of it. Still all just an idea right now tho. What would you do if you were in my position?

Just a heads up that fiberwerx quality is questionable. I've seen some sketchy stuff come out of that place lol. But they are the only ones I know of making fenders for your truck that aren't raptor conversion glass.

Tires don't fill out your massive one piece enough huh?

I like the look of the non-raptor 09+ one piece conversion but that may be overkill. this bumper looks legit too.




The standard fenders are really clean looking when painted, but less aggressive then a one piece. This look is awesome with a nice bumper attached. It I was building a purpose built prerunner, I would go with the one piece, but for a daily / street truck, the width of the standard flairs will be easier to live with. The truck above would need two parking spaces

Fiberwerx expects its products to be abused hard in a race environment, the tolerances are not as tight as say, a T&E aero kit for a Ferrari.



May want to check with these guys - http://www.off-roadfiberglass.com/of...tor%20conv.htm

As far as Fiberwerx goes I have their bed sides and one piece clip on. Quality is ok and there service is ok. I would not say great but I would not say bad either just kinda a so so average company to deal with.

I got my front bumper done at Vegas Dezert Fab. They did an amazing job! Super nice guys great quality products very fast and amazing prices. I would %100 recommend them.

And Buster yes im having a hard time filling that clip on up

Okay pat I just read your build thread and you have the exact same setup as me. 17x9 with -12 offset wrapped in 37x12.5 rubber. Well in order to get your rims to stick out another 2 inches you need a width of 10" or more on your rims and an offset of -44 or more. I think the only way to achieve that is with a 20" wheel or larger. Or you can go race buggy beadlock wheels that generally have a back space(same thing as offset but in inches) of 3.5". The companies I know of that have wheels like this are method, atx, or spiderlock. I'm sure there's more but those spiderlocks are my favorite wheel ever!

We just did a Fiberwerx one piece on an ecoboost with a 5.5" wider per side front end and it just filled it perfectly. There is nice glass out there for your truck. With fiberglass
(any company) there is a chance for flaws. Sucks but it happens. Sometimes your body or paint guy can correct them easily while prepping/painting.
