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 applications - the wheel seats directly on the factory hub with no hubcentric rings required, ensuring precise wheel centering and vibration-free installation on all listed Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, and Commander applications
• -12mm offset / 4.5" backspacing produces an aggressively outboard stance - a lift kit is strongly recommended on all listed Wrangler and Gladiator applications to ensure adequate tire, fender, and suspension component clearance; a minimum of 2.5"-3.5" lift is advised when running 35"+ tires
• The 17x9 wheel width (0.5" wider than the 17x8.5) combined with the -12mm offset places the wheel face and tire significantly further outboard than zero-offset 17x8.5 setups; this combination is purpose-built for lifted Wrangler and Gladiator builds running 35"-40" tires where maximum visual stance and inner clearance are the goals
• Grand Cherokee and Commander applications: the -12mm offset will produce significant outboard poke relative to factory - verify fender clearance on your specific trim before ordering
• 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 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-compliant street wheel; the concave face and deep window profile create inner barrel shadow and visual complexity unavailable in flat-faced designs
• 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, Grid, and Mesh designs; the V.3 ring closely mimics the profile of a true beadlock outer ring and provides additional lip protection against rock and trail damage
• Matte black finish on both the barrel and the Street-Loc V.3 ring creates a unified, flat, non-reflective all-black appearance - the cleanest and most understated color configuration in the MR312 lineup, suited for Jeep builds where the wheel is meant to anchor the visual theme rather than introduce a color accent
• Replaceable stainless steel lip bolts installed around the V.3 ring can be removed and swapped with optional colored bolt kits sold separately for future accent customization
• 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 provides a true hub-centric fit on all listed Jeep applications - no hubcentric rings needed, delivering maximum wheel centering precision directly from the factory hub
• 17x9 wheel width paired with -12mm offset produces the widest and most outboard stance available in the MR312 5x5 lineup - designed for builders running 35"-40" tires on lifted Wrangler and Gladiator builds who prioritize visual stance and inner suspension clearance over stock-height fender compatibility
• Solid one-piece cast A356 aluminum construction with T6 heat treatment provides reliable structural performance across all listed Jeep platforms for daily driving, trail use, and rock crawling
• 2,650 lb. load rating for this 5-lug 5x127 configuration - the highest standard 5-lug load rating in Method's street series, appropriate for all standard Wrangler and Gladiator 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 MR31279050512N) is the aggressive-stance variant of the MR312 for Jeep's 5x5 platform - the 17x9 / 5x127 / -12mm configuration steps up from the 17x8.5 / 0mm variants with a wider wheel face, a more outboard mounting position, and significantly more inner suspension clearance. The -12mm offset and 4.5-inch backspacing push the wheel and tire assembly further outboard than any positive-offset setup on this platform, creating the wide, aggressive visual presence that defines the most seriously built Wrangler and Gladiator rigs. The 17x9 width provides an extra 0.5 inches of wheel face over the 17x8.5 variants, accommodating wider tire options and improving the visual proportion of large-format tires. A lift kit is strongly recommended - minimum 2.5"-3.5" to ensure adequate fender, upper control arm, and coil spring clearance on stock-height and mildly modified applications.

The MR312's race-derived concave face profile, Street-Loc V.3 beadlock ring, and 71.5mm hub-centric centerbore make it the technically strongest and visually most complex option in Method's 5-lug Jeep street series. The all-matte black finish in this part number is the most versatile and neutral color configuration - unlike the bronze and Double Black® variants, the standard Matte Black produces a flat, unified appearance that does not introduce a color accent or tonal contrast. This makes it a particularly natural choice for blacked-out Wrangler and Gladiator builds, and for owners who want the maximum visual impact from the wheel's race-derived shape and V.3 ring profile rather than its color.

Built from solid A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment and carrying a 2,650 lb. load rating, this wheel supports all standard Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator payload applications. The 71.5mm centerbore is hub-centric on all listed Jeep applications - no hubcentric rings required. Lug nut thread pitch differs between JK (1/2"-20) and JL/JT/WK2 (M14x1.5) - confirm before purchasing separately. Lug nuts are not included.
