should of mentioned in a non beadlock.
I know method makes there 401 beadlock in 4/156

 

Method 403 non beadlock comes 14" 5+2 offset for 109.00

 

not that I see in our bolt pattern
HD5's are growing on me tho

 

Check on rocky Mountain they should have the hd5's , but the methods are lighter and stronger

 

I brought the method 403 from sidebysideutv parts and they are 5+2 offset. 4/156

 

They do have Methods that size. They are out of stock for about a month. Confirmed the other day. I too am buying a set of Method 403 14X7 - 5+2/4-156 non bead lock. I'm going to put some Tensor 30x10x14 tires on them.
Side by Side was supposed to call me back, but didn't.

 

Tensors shouldn't cost any more than $175. You can get them at Discount Tire and they mount them.

 

STI HD3,, those that have purchased them say there are really 5+2
14x7 4/156 6+1 Gloss Black w/ Machined 14HD303N

 

HD3 is a 4+3. HD5 is a 5+2

 

HD5 - I ran these on my 900 an loved them! Hard to beat the price for a 14" bead lock wheel! The main reason I bought these rims was because I didn't want to make my XP any wider. With the 5+2 offset and 28" BlackWaters on all four corners my machined remained the stock width.

 

I can't find any documentation that shows the 403 in a 5/2 offset. Manufacturers website doesn't show it. What am I missing?

 

You're right it doesn't show them, but they do MFG therm. They are just on back order.

 

You can call them as you won't find anything online. Believe me they make them in
36mm offset = 5+2

 

I'm not running hd3, I run methods 403 wrapped with rage thunder in a 30'

But I did make a mistake on the weight, 39lbs seamed awfully low when I found the tire weight on paper was 34.4lbs, I did put my spare on the scale and came to 46lbs...

 

That makes sense now! I am going to talk to Discount Tire on Saturday morning about what their price for me would be on the Method 403 5+2 and if they could get the HD3, and what price.

The Rage Thunder looks quite good, especially for the $$ but we need DOT for our street legal status and I am concerned about the wear on pavement as we ride from the garage to the dirt. Enjoy! :ride:

I am seriously considering GMZ Kahuna. 33 LBS in a 30/10r14 and DOT rated.

I am still undecided on wheels as well. I went to the off road expo last weekend and the Raceline guys told me that Method measures backspacing wrong and that the Raceline 4+3 wheels were about the same as a Method 5+2. I haven't been able to confirm that with anyone else though.

 

I sell HiPer Wheels with that offset... Just had UPS deliver a set yesterday to a customer...

 

Yeah, Tensors are all the rage right now, but went with Mongrels for my 900 for rounded tread pattern and weight. If I had a 1k I would have considered Tensors.

Regarding offset, good choice on offset 5/2 to keep that scrub radius in check. After reading Shock Therapy's post about scrub, all the 4/3 guys running Tensors are in a bad spot right now.

 

I have STI HD5's (5+2) and they work great. I put too much torque into a beadlock bolt and broke it off. I contacted STI and they sent a few to replace it, no charge. Great to work with and because of that, I highly recommend them.
