Opinions on these wheels and tires? I’m not a big fan personally. I got a good deal on them and needed 38s. Since then, I’ve sold that truck. Should you stick with 17-inch on a Raptor or go big like 22s pictured?
Looking for a good set of wheels—17 or 18 inches. Drop a picture if you’re running Methods or something similar. How do you like them?

More rubber, less wheel (IMHO). Regardless, anyone with a Raptor is cool in my book.
I completely agree. I don’t like going bigger than 17, to be honest. A friend of mine sold those wheels to me for super cheap, so I put them on, but you’re definitely not hitting any jumps with those.

My condolences. As far as wheels go, you can’t go wrong with Methods, Fifteen52’s, Icon, and for looks maybe Rotiforms.
I’ll definitely check those out. Thank you! I was thinking about the gold Methods, but that’s a little out there. I know I’ll end up hating them, so I’ll probably just stick with black. I have the factory block wheels, but I’m looking for something with a bit more offset.
I totally agree, ha ha! Looks so stupid. No bigger than 17 or 18. No chance I could jump this thing. It looks like a mall crawler. Thankfully, it’s gone; I’m in the market for an R.
Ha ha, I completely agree. 17 inches is as big as I’d like to go. That truck sold anyways to my uncle. Looking for a 2024 R and trying to find some nice wheels for my Gen 2 that was my late father’s.

I’ve got the same rims in the 17 variety.
Yeah, they’re not too popular. People seem to hate them. I just got a good deal on them back when I lifted it for the Raptor. I’ll stick with 17 or 18 inches. I go on a lot of rallies and jump stuff like that. It would’ve never handled that.

It’s funny you say that. I’ve had no issues with mine at all, and I’ve beaten on them hard. Maybe I’m lucky; who knows.
Oh, I had no issues with them, but they were 38s, so I probably couldn’t jump. I never took that truck on a rally. We drive pretty hard, though. I just had coils all the way around. I’m not sure what the exact lift was, but it fit 38s fine. You can see compared to my dad’s old truck; it’s set up pretty high. I sold that one to my uncle. I’m looking to get a 2024 R.
To me, anything bigger than a 17" or 18" wheel just doesn’t look right on a Raptor. I’ve seen guys off-road with 20s, but that’s just not my cup of tea.

Looking for a good deal on a 2024 R so I can put that one up. I don’t wanna put a bunch of miles on it. It belonged to my late father, so it means a lot to me. That’s the reason I have two trucks; it doesn’t make a lot of sense unless everybody knows the backstory.
