Anyone running 17s?

I’m looking to run some method 305s in 17s. 37x12.5r17 MT Baja Boss. I’ve heard that method race wheels 305s are one of the only wheels that can fit the TRX with the brake caliper clearance. If anyone has experience with this let me know. I reached out to Method to ask. I also plan on going to my local tire store to have them fit them on there before I buy. I’ll update when available.

I believe this involves grinding the brake caliper, and extremely specific set of wheels (and even still possibly having clearance issues)

Or you go to an aftermarket brake setup

Few guys have said if sticking with stock brakes it’s not worth the hassle.

I’ve heard this as well, hoping someone has experienced actually running them and debunking this.

The google link has numerous threads from this forum with users attempting it and what people have done to make it work.

I appreciate it. I know method has larger inner barrel diameters, especially on the 305s. I’m curious what they come back to me with. All the other posts are running brands that don’t advertise larger inner diameters so thats what I’m curious about. If I get the hard no from Method I guess I’ll run 18s
