Ordered 1 wheel to test fit (Method NV 18x9 -12bs). They clear calipers by the thickness of two business cards (1/32”?). I’m no mechanic but I’m guessing that is a no go. Who ever heard of a truck that comes with 18” wheels that can’t fit... 18” wheels? Ugh... bummed.
Was pretty amped on 18” methods (NV, Grid, or 312). Guess I’ll need to either bump up to 20” or find a similar 18” wheel that clears (which could be an expensive search).
Or maybe just grind down the calipers?
(that’s a joke)
FYI Took a hard look at the inner lip on my stock 18x9 +19os wheels and discovered that they have a unique shape to clear the caliper (by ~1/8”). The inner surface of the wheel indents toward the tire just inside the thickness of the inside tire bead seat. Stock wheel caliper clearance pic below for reference.
