Fitment Notes

• Bolt pattern 5x5 is also expressed as 5x127mm - both designations refer to the same fitment
• 71.5mm centerbore provides true hub-centric fitment on all listed Jeep Wrangler JK, JL, Gladiator JT, Grand Cherokee, and Commander applications - no hubcentric rings required; the wheel seats directly on the hub for vibration-free installation
• 0mm offset / 4.75" backspacing is the standard fitment for 17x8.5 Jeep aftermarket wheels, providing a clean, neutral stance and excellent inner clearance for stock and lifted suspension on all listed platforms
• Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) uses 1/2"-20 thread pitch lug nuts; Jeep Wrangler JL (2018+), Gladiator JT, and Grand Cherokee WK2 use M14x1.5 thread pitch - confirm the correct specification for your application before purchasing lug nuts separately; lug nuts are not included
• TPMS sensors are not included - purchase separately if required
• Sold individually - one (1) wheel per listing

Features

• 6-windowed concave deep-set split-spoke design with debossed METHOD logos - modeled after Method's 106 Beadlock race wheel, the MR312 brings genuine race wheel visual depth to a DOT-legal street wheel; the concave face creates shadow depth and inner barrel visibility that flat-faced designs cannot achieve
• Street-Loc V.3 simulated beadlock ring - Method's most aggressive street beadlock simulation, with a wider and deeper undercut than the V.1 ring found on the NV, Mesh, Grid, and Double Standard designs; the V.3 ring more closely replicates the profile of a true beadlock outer ring and provides additional protection against lip damage from trail debris and rocks
• Matte black finish on both the barrel and the Street-Loc V.3 ring creates a clean, unified all-matte appearance - more understated than the Double Black® variant (which uses a gloss ring for two-tone contrast) and more subtle than the bronze variant; an ideal choice for Jeep builds where a pure, non-reflective dark appearance is the goal
• Replaceable stainless steel lip bolts installed around the V.3 ring are fully removable and replaceable with optional colored bolt kits sold separately - the only accent element on this all-matte finish, providing the option for a subtle pop of color at the lip without changing the wheel
• Bolt-on billet center cap with embossed METHOD logo provides secure, positive-retention fitment appropriate for aggressive trail and rock crawling use
• 71.5mm hub-centric centerbore fits the Jeep factory hub bore precisely - unlike many 5x127 aftermarket wheels with larger centerbores that require hubcentric rings, this wheel is a true hub-centric fit on all listed Jeep applications, providing maximum wheel centering precision and vibration-free performance right out of the box
• Solid one-piece cast A356 aluminum construction with T6 heat treatment provides reliable structural performance for daily driving, trail use, and rock crawling on all listed Jeep platforms
• 2,650 lb. load rating for this 5-lug 5x127 configuration - the highest standard 5-lug load rating in Method's street series, supporting all standard Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and Grand Cherokee payloads
• DOT street-legal - suitable for all on-road, daily-driven, trail, and rock crawling applications on all listed vehicles
• Covered by Method Race Wheels' Lifetime Structural Warranty

Product Description

The Method 312 in Matte Black (P/N MR31278550500) is Method's most race-derived street series design for the Jeep 5x5 platform - a concave, deep-set 6-spoke face explicitly modeled after the 106 Beadlock race wheel, with the Street-Loc V.3 simulated beadlock ring providing the most aggressive and protective outer lip profile in the Method street series lineup. In the 17x8.5 / 5x127 / 0mm configuration, this wheel covers the full range of 5x5 Jeep applications: the Wrangler JK and JL, Gladiator JT, and the Grand Cherokee and Commander, and it does so with a meaningful fitment advantage over most competing 5x127 wheels - the 71.5mm centerbore matches Jeep's factory hub bore precisely, making this a true hub-centric wheel on all listed applications with no hubcentric rings required.

The all-matte black finish is the most versatile and understated color configuration in the MR312 lineup. Where the Double Black® (MR312785501000) uses a gloss ring for two-tone contrast and the bronze variant creates a strong earthy accent, the all-matte Matte Black version delivers a flat, non-reflective appearance across the entire wheel face - barrel, ring, and bolts all read at the same dark tone. This makes it the natural choice for Jeep builds pursuing a stealthy, monochromatic look, and for buyers who want the aggressive V.3 beadlock ring profile and race-inspired concave face without any colorway distraction. The replaceable stainless steel lip bolts are the only potential accent element and can be swapped to any optional color separately if the owner later decides to add contrast.

Built from solid A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment and carrying a 2,650 lb. load rating - the highest standard 5-lug rating in Method's street series - this wheel is well-suited for all Wrangler and Gladiator payload and trail applications. Lug nut thread pitch differs between JK (1/2"-20) and JL/JT/WK2 (M14x1.5) - confirm the correct specification before purchasing separately. Lug nuts are not included.
