Default Method NV ?

Before i pull the trigger on the method NV's i want to make sure that they will fit properly without rubbing or damaging the body during articulation, can someone confirm that Method NV's in 17inch rims will work on the 2013 screw 4x4 with 35x12.50r17. I plan on running a different front bumper so i am not worried about trimming the front bumper area but i am worried with how far the NV's will stick out past the fenders. FYI i am doing a icon stage 2 lift. any and all replies are appreciated.

I actually just installed these on my '12 fx4 with a 4" rancho Kit. They are going to be my winter setup. I'm running them on 315/70/17 goodyear Duratrac's. They are basically 35's. They fit for me no issues. No rubbing or anything. But then again I'm on a 4" lift.

No problem. What finish are you going for on the NV's? I opted for the all black. Also what tires are you going to run?

The finish will be all black as i have 2013 screw in sterling grey or charcoal which ever you prefer to call the color. I have three tires in mind general grabbers, nitto terra grapplers and mickey thompson MTZ radials all in 35x12.50r17. I am also doing the ICON stage 3 lift, 3 inch rear block or deavers, ADD front bumper, RCI skid plates and a few other little mods. basically just adding alot more protection to the truck for hunting mostly and some offroad.

Cool. Sounds like a good setup. Out of those three tires I can recommend the Terra grapplers. I had them last winter and they were great. They are releasing the 35x12.50x17 Terra Grappler G2 supposedly this week so look out for that too. It's supposed to have better wear than the previous model.

I was about to get the general grabber red letters on my new NV's but I read a lot of terrible reviews about them. Especially in snow and that was one aspect I really needed them for. So that's why I opted for the goodyear duratracs. I haven't heard much bad about the Mickey thompsons. Although I do hear people love the new Mickey ATZ p3 though if you don't want to opt for a mud tire.

Not to add to any confusion but 315/70/17 will definitely fit with that setup. Its a little smaller than a true 35" though. I prefer the BFG A/Ts though.
