Hello
I'm at the same point, I want these wheels but have the Dynas as well.
Ok cutting the center cap, and you did well.
But you didn't mentioned HOW you did it. Would you like to tell me?

Hole saw and a dremel. I wouldn’t do this again, just get some rims that are open to allow for the hub. I ran into balance issues and was also worried about the integrity of the rim.

Looks great! I figure once I have to do balljonts I’ll do the free spin kit.

Thanks a lot.
Problem is I searched around for a week now ad didn't found a decent rim, I want an offset that fits the Ram and a weight rating that matches the tires, I'm at 12000lbs already.
So I've to go that way. At least balancing isn't an issue as I run Centramatics..
Best would be a lathe to do it but that is wish thinking.
Could you post me a close up picture from the front where I can see how much you had to cut so I've a point to start from.

I went to a few shops with lathes, no one would touch the project due to “liability”, maby you’ll have luck. As far as the rims, CJC off-road has a raceline rim with the proper back spacing. Good luck!

Yeah,they have some 18's in these. 4500# rated.
305-HD | NV | Matte Black
The 305-HD NV Wheel features an iconic 12 window design with a debossed Method logo on either side of the center cap. The lip undercut simulates a true beadlock wheel and has replaceable lip bolts with optional colors available. It boasts a Heavy Duty (HD) load rating of 4,500 lbs. to handle...

I checked them so far out, but the Offset is always wrong, I don't want 0 or +18, I prefer it closer to stock and therefor at around +30.
And hub centric is a must for me.
Why don't they build proper wheels...

My CJC 315 17 x 8.5 Ram specific Methods rims are hub centric according to Cole there. They fit very tightly on the rear hub and front Dynatrac's.
Once again you're stuck with 3195# 17's though.

The 18 x 9's have the available 5.75 bs which hug the body quite well but I don't know if they are hub centric.

Looking to fit a 37" tire with a 17" wheel on your Ram 2500 or 3500 truck? We worked with Method to develop a wheel with the perfect offset and backspace specs to make it happen with minimal trimming.

I like these 18" rims, you are right about the tires, with the 17" im stuck with the Toyo open country MT as the only tire with a 125Li.
I just mailed to DPP if they can change my order.
Shame on me i ordered the Saltas BEFORE i asked in this thread as i was sure that there are no alternative rims are around.

One last question! 
Do the centramatics fit the Method Wheels?

That’s exactly what I did, well the other way around. When my unit hub bearing went out I bought the free spin kit and new ball joints from Dynatrac.
