13 documented modifications · enthusiast build · GarageWire build record (self-reported)

2. wheels

   Method Race Wheels 703 Bead Grip 17×8.5, 0 offset

   Bead Grip holds the tire at single-digit psi in sand; zero offset keeps the scrub radius sane.

3. tires

   BFGoodrich KO3 37×12.50R17

   Like-for-like size swap to the newer KO3 compound when the factory KO2s wore out. No rub, stock liners.
