Method 703 (17" +35, Gloss Titanium)+ Falken Wildpeak AT4W 255/80R17

If I'm understanding your picture correctly, then the answer is yes. The Method wheels are lug-centric and require different lugnuts than the OEM wheels. The Toyota OEM wheels are hub centric.

Yep this is true. And they're splined so you should buy the chuck for tightening the lugs.

here they are
no cutting, no lift

I wanted to buy the Mickey Thompsons but they were heavier than my Wildpeak AT3s

My set of lug nuts included the chuck.

What is the actual size of the tires? Weight? Looking forward to hearing about how you like them!

They are pretty heavy - 63lb, 86.5cm diameter (34”)
They are very comfortable when driving around the city, haven’t tried on a highway yet.
Also, in anticipation of a power loss, I’ve done a chip tuning the day before install +40hp, +100Nm (diesel), and if acceleration is fine, braking feels a bit worse than before.
And I haven’t measured a mpg hit yet.

here is the closest to the fenders wheel positions
I’ve removed a plastic bracket at the bottom of a bumper, but it didn’t touch it

I'm looking at getting the same setup, 255/80/17 Falkens, and Method 705s in a few weeks through Discount Tire. I ordered the Method lug kit, and the wheel install from discount includes hub rings (based on the online checkout). If the rings fit well would having both the hub rings and the Method lugs be ideal or is it an either or thing? (first time with lug centric wheels)

Is there anything I should look out for when having them do the install?

I do not have hub rings on my 703s or 318ss, just the method lugs. I don’t have any issues at all. Installed by 4Wheel Parts. I run the exact same 255/80/17s Falkens on my 703s. Great tire. 275/70/18 Nokian winter rubber on the 318s.

Correctly made wheels and lug nuts will center the wheel when the lug nuts are properly torqued without a hub ring, but IMO it's better to get hub rings because it helps remove potential issues during an install, especially if a dealership/service tech is in a rush.

IMO plastic rings are best for everyday use since they won't corrode onto the hub and hub rings don't take any weight once the wheels are properly torqued

Thanks for the info! I can't wait to get them installed so I can hit the local trails.
