Owl Vans makes a great looking wheel. I will most likely be going with them.

Owl Talon Sprinter Wheels

Black Talon Wheels Out of Stock Here at Owl, if we are not happy with the performance of something, we build it ourselves. With the new Owl Talon Wheel, we wanted to create something that raised the performance of the Sprinter wheel beyond what is available today. For the major wheel...

Hehe, zing! Someone found my wheel of choice. Agressive offset vs Black Rhino or Method, so just do the math to make sure it'll fit for you.

To throw unsolicited opinion into the mix, unless something else hits the market between now and then, I think I'll be following a personal trend; my previous 4Runner, and its replacement, a Tundra, ran the same wheels(Level8 MK6, coincidentally also what my GF's Tacoma has)... My Sprinter has Method 702's, and I'm confident the Grenadier will as well.

Being 17x7.5 ET50, they aren't as aggressive as the Owl Vans wheels, but should compliment the Grenadier well with a set of 255/80 Wildpeak A/T3Ws. The "pizza cutters" have been my go to tire style/choice since the 4Runner, with excellent results.

Saw this awesome International Scout with Methods at the Reno Air Race in 2019, guy who owned it wanted to swap it for a plane.

That's a rare sight - a scout that has not turned into a pile of rust....they look great but make similar vintage jaguars look like the pinnacle of wiring/electronics technology by compare..

One thing I don’t like about some of the wheels above is that the solid dish type wheels can fill with mud on the inside and its a PITA to clean it out. Same with the factory steels. I prefer spokes. I think the solid types are possibly stronger but when looking at the load ratings on the black rhino ones they were the same whether spoked or not..

Don’t all modern alloy wheels have the “safety bump”? My stock LR alloys do, as do my LR Wolf steelies.

So is Method just advertising it?

I have read the sprinter wheels will work but the offset is 63 mm vs 50 ? but if you go down to a 16 in and 75 series tire there are many many wheel choices

Aftermarket wheels that fit sprinters will fit the grenadier (that is what everyone is running). The factory Sprinter wheels (depending on which wheel you're referencing) is between 60-64mm; aftermarket wheels vary from the upper 30s to the mid 50s

I am about 99.5% confident that 16" wheels will not clear the brakes on the Grenadier; and saying "75 series" tire doesn't really mean much as it is entirely dependent on width for overall tire diameter.

The offset on the Grenadier buggers up the deep dish look of most wheels, this is what you want them to look like:

But this is what they end up looking like:

Hate that they specc'd a large postive offset and we lose the deep dish options.

In saying that, I'm thinking evo course Dakarzero or Dakarcourse might be the go for me

Safer fitment without rubbing. :(
