Finally got my Method Race Wheels 305 in Bahia Blue installed. They look great (I think;). They add almost 1.5 inches in “poke” per side due to offset. And they also needed a 1 & 1/8 inch extension to tailgate bumpers on back of vehicle to contact tire. Came up with a good looking solution I prefer over a racquetball. A simple plastic part from Home Depot, painted black, fits inside the rubber bumper perfectly (doesn’t fall out if the tire is removed - but can be removed with a bit of wiggling/twisting). You can see the part on the receipt photo. Note, this works unmodified for the zero-offset Method wheel going onto the raptor tailgate - about 1 and 1/8 inch needed to fill space. Pictures showing the 1 and 1/2 inch extra “poke” of factory rubber. One image shows a metal level being held flush against flares so you can get a more precise view of wheel “poke”. #methodracewheels
