Vehicle Fitment

• 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (2-Door and 4-Door Unlimited), All Trims, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL (2-Door and 4-Door Unlimited), All Trims, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT, All Trims, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2, 5x5 (5x127mm)
• 2006-2010 Jeep Commander XK, 5x5 (5x127mm)

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 on any listed Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, or Commander application
• -12mm offset / 4.5" backspacing produces an aggressively outboard stance - a lift kit is strongly recommended to ensure adequate tire, fender, and suspension component clearance; a minimum of 2.5"-3.5" lift is advised when running 35"+ tires on Wrangler and Gladiator applications
• The 17x9 width combined with the -12mm offset provides significantly more outboard wheel and tire placement than zero-offset 17x8.5 setups - this configuration is purpose-built for lifted Wrangler and Gladiator builds running 35"-40" tires where maximum visual stance and inner suspension clearance are the primary goals
• Grand Cherokee and Commander: the -12mm offset will produce aggressive 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 and inner barrel complexity to a fully DOT-compliant street wheel; the concave face creates shadow depth at all viewing angles that flat-faced designs cannot replicate
• 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 a true beadlock outer ring's profile and provides additional protection for the wheel lip against rocks and trail debris
• Method Bronze® barrel finish - Method's proprietary warm, earthy bronze powder coat creates a rich two-tone contrast with the matte black V.3 ring; on the 17x9 concave face the bronze reads with especially strong depth and dimension, shifting between a deep amber-brown in shade and a warmer, more saturated tone in direct sunlight
• The bronze/matte black combination in the wider 17x9 concave face is the most visually impactful configuration in the MR312 5x5 lineup - the extra 0.5" of wheel width gives the bronze barrel more face area, which amplifies the depth of color and shadow created by the concave profile; this is the version that photographs most dramatically on lifted Wrangler and Gladiator builds
• Matte black Street-Loc V.3 ring and black stainless steel lip bolts frame the outer profile in dark tone, creating strong visual contrast between the warm bronze barrel and the dark ring - the perfect two-tone combination for earthy, terrain-inspired Jeep builds
• Replaceable black stainless steel lip bolts can be swapped with optional colored bolt kits sold separately - gold or copper accent bolts extend the warm-tone theme of the bronze finish especially well
• 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, maximum centering precision direct from factory hub
• Solid one-piece cast A356 aluminum construction with T6 heat treatment provides reliable structural performance for daily driving, trail use, and rock crawling across 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, 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 Method Bronze® / Matte Black Lip (P/N MR31279050912N) is the most visually striking combination in the MR312 5x5 Jeep lineup - the 17x9 / 5x127 / -12mm aggressive-stance configuration in the signature bronze/black colorway that has defined the MR312's visual identity since 2018. The wider 17x9 face provides 0.5" more spoke surface area than the 17x8.5 variants, which amplifies the depth and shadow created by the concave face profile and makes the Method Bronze® finish read with noticeably more visual presence and dimension. In the -12mm offset configuration at 4.5-inch backspacing, the wheel pushes significantly outboard relative to any positive-offset setup on this platform, producing the wide, aggressive visual stance that defines the most seriously modified Wrangler and Gladiator builds.

The bronze/matte black combination is particularly effective in the 17x9 concave format. The V.3 Street-Loc ring's deeper, wider profile creates a more prominent dark outer band than the V.1 ring on the NV and Grid, and the additional barrel depth created by the concave 17x9 face gives the bronze more layered visual complexity - there is more inner barrel visible through the spoke windows, more shadow variation across the face, and more apparent depth from any angle. Paired with 35"-37" all-terrain or mud-terrain tires on a properly lifted Wrangler or Gladiator, this is one of the most commonly photographed and widely replicated wheel-tire setups in the Jeep 5x5 community.

The 71.5mm centerbore is hub-centric on all listed Jeep applications, requiring no hubcentric rings and providing maximum centering precision direct from the factory hub. A lift kit is strongly recommended at this offset and width combination. 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. Covered by Method Race Wheels' Lifetime Structural Warranty.
