Wheels, tires, leveling kit question!
Hey all,
New wheels and tires question - I have settled on Method MR306, probably 18".
I don't want to fit crazy large wheels, just more aggressive thread (KO2?) for better snow and very light offroading performance.
I want to retain as close to an "OEM" driving feel and stance as possible, but with the black Method wheels.
Do I need a leveling kit to work with these? What are your recommendations on this?
Thanks!

You don't necessarily need a leveling kit to run those wheels, the tire size will more than likely be what determines if you need to raise the truck any, or if you choose a wheel with a crazy offset that could play a role as well.
Are you dead set on 18s? I believe they make those same wheels in a 17x8.5, 0 offset which is exactly what I have on mine. I went with 17s to get more sidewall without having to lift the truck. Also, a ~33" tire simply looks bigger on a 17" vs 18" or even 20", at least in my opinion. Another reason I went with 17s was to be able to get a P285/70R17 tire, keeps the set-up lightweight overall and did not take away from the "OEM" driving feel of the truck. No leveling kit needed, and no rubbing
