what offset did you get, I see they list 3 for this wheel. I have a Mojave as well and am in the market. I do want them to stick out a bit, but not too much.Got the 703’s
Question for you (or anyone reading this) - when you had your Yok's mounted to these wheels, did they give your shop fits? I have the 37" Yoks and MR705s, so a similar setup, unfortunately not mounted yet. I took mine out to get mounted/balanced and the shop ended up calling me to come get my stuff; they couldn't get the tires to seat on the bead. The shop did call Method and any advice Method had to offer (flipping the tire, lubing the snot out of it, warming up the tire, overpressure [70psi on a D-load 37], etc.), they had already tried. Eventually, the shop got tired of wasting time on them since it was tying up their machine/slowing their roll. Thx much.I also have the 703s. I would recommend black because if you 4wheel, you will scratch them up on rocks and boulders and the aluminum underneath is bright silver. The flat black (Satin) is easy to match and I have touched up the paint on all 4 of mine many times. In this pic, this 703 has been touched up with black at least half a dozen to a dozen times. I guess you could match the paint color with other colors, but, black is easy. Same thing with those RSE steps, I have touched them up with black paint many times...
I have the 701's (17x9 -12MM) and had set of Yokohama Geloander X-AT's mounted up (35x12.5). Not sure how difficult it was for them, but the local shop who mounted them never said a peep about them being problematic to get mounted or balanced. I have about 2500 miles (Not very much I know) but no issues with balance, air, etc. Great wheels/tires so far.Question for you (or anyone reading this) - when you had your Yok's mounted to these wheels, did they give your shop fits?

Thank you, wondering if the E rating of your 35s vs D on the 37 in. MTs that I have are the difference. They put 70 psi of air in and didn't want to go higher. I know you can go higher PSI on the E-rated tires to seat the bead not that you should have to do that.I have the 701's (17x9 -12MM) and had set of Yokohama Geloander X-AT's mounted up (35x12.5).

Yea that's very possible for sure. Hopefully you'll find a good answer. I wonder if you can get any advice from Yokohama since it sounds like they tried everything Method suggested? Sorry you are going through this and maybe some more people on here with experience with the combination will chime in. Maybe try the wrangler forums as well?Thank you, wondering if the E rating of your 35s vs D on the 37 in. MTs that I have are the difference. They put 70 psi of air in and didn't want to go higher.

I have had two sets of 37s mounted on my 703s. Goodyear Kevlar MTRs, and the Yokohamas. They do first lock on to the bead lock, then, after more PSI pop into the channel where the bead grip is. America's tire has had no problem mounting both sets of tires. I live in SoCal, and the weather is mild here all the time. I see you are in cold country. Maybe "cold rubber" has something to do with it. Before you try it again, I would try to warm up the tires in the sun, or maybe inside your house where it is warm.Question for you (or anyone reading this) - when you had your Yok's mounted to these wheels, did they give your shop fits?

Hey, thanks for hitting me back. Took one wheel and one tire to the HD truck shop this AM to see if they have better luck and they JUST called and got it mounted. He said it was definitely about the getting the tires warmed up enough. This was an expensive lesson learned; that sucks the most since I had to pay the shop that couldn't mount them for their time.I have had two sets of 37s mounted on my 703s.

Both were 37s. I like the yokohama geolandar mt g003 better than the Goodyear Kevlar MTRs. They ride better on the street, they are quieter, the sidewall is softer, they seem to last longer (TBD), they chunk less. Regarding off-roading, 4wheeling, they are about the same. The Goodyears do good at around 11 psi, the Yokohamas seem to like a little more - around 13 psi. I think the Yokohamas may slip less in the rocks. They did fantastic on the Rubicon Trail. Rotate them every 5K miles or less if you want them to last.Hey, thanks for hitting me back.

I also have a set of MTRs, what tire do you like better?
