## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do they made?**
A: Made in China.

**Q: Method race wheels 701 method bronze 17x9" 6x5.5", 12mm offset 4.6" backspace, mr70179060912n.  is this -12 offset or 12 offset?**
A: Part number MR70179060912N is for a -12mm offset. Thanks!

**Q: What’s the Hub bore on these and will the fit on a 2015 Silverado?**
A: Go to Method's site and search for your application. You can get hub centric spacers if the center bore is oversize for your application.

**Q: Can I use my stock lugnuts with these wheels? 2018 Chevy Colorado zr2**
A: fyi - Lug nuts may require an extended thread (ET) due to the potentially shorter studs on the truck and the extended milled out section of the wheels. 
On my 2017 Taco OR the acorn nuts only captured 4 threads.  ET nuts will capture 7+ threads as they go down the milled out section of the stud. 
See https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GH72J46 for proper nuts (maybe not for your truck, but same concept).
