Method MR70179050512N 701 Bead Grip 17x9 5x5 -12mm Matte Black Wheel Jeep

Vehicle Fitment

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

Fitment Notes

• 5x127mm is also expressed as 5x5" - both designations refer to the same bolt pattern
• 71.5mm centerbore is hub-centric for all listed Jeep Wrangler JK, JL, Gladiator JT, Grand Cherokee, and Commander applications - no hubcentric rings required; direct hub-centric fitment on all listed Jeep platforms without additional hardware
• Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) and JL (2018+) both use M14x1.5 lug nuts - confirm seat type before purchasing separately; lug nuts are not included
• -12mm offset / 4.6" backspacing produces an aggressively outboard stance on all listed Jeep applications - a suspension lift of 2.5"-4" or more is recommended to ensure adequate tire, fender, and suspension clearance; this is designed for lifted JK, JL, and Gladiator builds running 33"-37" all-terrain and mud-terrain tires where maximum outboard stance and inner clearance are the goals
• The 17x9 width at -12mm offset is wider and more outboard than the 17x8.5 0mm standard fitment - the additional width provides more tire clearance to the inner suspension components while simultaneously pushing the wheel further outboard; confirm clearance for your specific trim, lift, and tire combination before ordering
• TPMS sensors are not included - purchase separately if required
• Sold individually - one (1) wheel per listing

Features

• Patented Bead Grip® technology - Method's proprietary knurled inner bead seat texture provides increased tire bead retention at reduced inflation pressures; on the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator platform - where airing down to 12-18 PSI on trails and rock crawls is standard practice - the Bead Grip® inner lip provides meaningful protection against tire de-beading that conventional street wheels cannot offer; DOT-approved for all on-road and daily-driven use
• Classic 8-window design with debossed METHOD Bead Grip® logo - the MR701's 8-window face references Method's off-road race heritage while delivering street legality and hub-centric fitment; the 17x9 format provides a larger window area and deeper concave face profile than the 17x8.5 variants, creating more visual depth and inner barrel presence appropriate for the aggressive -12mm outboard stance
• Aggressive safety hump on bead seats further prevents de-beading - provides an additional mechanical barrier against tire bead displacement at the reduced pressures common in Jeep trail use, complementing the Bead Grip® knurled seat texture for maximum tire security without a mechanical beadlock ring
• Reinforced inner lip taken from Method's race wheel design - the inner lip geometry provides additional structural reinforcement derived directly from Method's competition wheel standards, appropriate for the rock impacts and hard landings common in Wrangler and Gladiator off-road use
• All-matte black finish - a flat, non-reflective unified appearance appropriate for Jeep trail use across all terrain types; matte black is the most practical color option for Jeep builds for its trail-appropriate appearance, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with the full range of Wrangler and Gladiator factory color offerings
• 71.5mm centerbore provides hub-centric fitment on all listed Jeep applications without rings - a key practical advantage that ensures maximum wheel centering precision for vibration-free on-road driving after trail use
• 17x9 at -12mm offset is the most aggressive-stance configuration in the MR701 Jeep 5x5 lineup - 0.5" wider and with 0.75" more outboard poke than the 17x8.5 0mm standard fitment; designed for lifted Wrangler and Gladiator builds running wider tires where maximum outboard stance and visual presence are the design goals
• Snap-in center cap with embossed METHOD Bead Grip® logo - provides finished center section appearance and trail debris protection
• Solid A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment construction provides reliable structural performance for daily driving, trail use, and rock-crawling applications
• 2,650 lb. load rating for this 5-lug 5x127 configuration
• DOT street-legal - suitable for all on-road, daily-driven, trail, and off-road applications on all listed vehicles
• Covered by Method Race Wheels' Lifetime Structural Warranty

Product Description

The Method 701 Bead Grip in Matte Black (P/N MR70179050512N) is the aggressive-stance configuration of the MR701 for the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator 5x5 platform - the 17x9 / 5x127 / -12mm configuration that combines maximum outboard stance with Method's Patented Bead Grip® tire retention technology in a DOT-approved, street-legal format. The MR701 is the natural choice for Wrangler and Gladiator builders who want the functional benefit of Bead Grip® technology - meaningful tire bead retention at the 12-18 PSI trail pressures where conventional street wheels provide no protection - without the weight, hardware complexity, and off-road-only legal restrictions of a mechanical beadlock. The 71.5mm centerbore provides hub-centric fitment on all listed Jeep applications without rings, ensuring vibration-free highway driving after the most demanding trail sessions.

At 17x9 with -12mm offset and 4.6-inch backspacing, this is the most outboard and widest stance available in the MR701 Jeep 5x5 lineup - 0.5 inch wider and with meaningfully more outboard poke than the standard 17x8.5 0mm configuration. The additional width maximizes inner barrel clearance for suspension components and CV axles on lifted builds, while the -12mm negative offset pushes the tire face further outboard of the fender flare for the assertive, trail-ready visual presence expected on serious Wrangler and Gladiator builds. This configuration pairs naturally with 33"-37" all-terrain and mud-terrain tires on 2.5"-4" lifted JK and JL Wrangler builds and Gladiator builds.

Jeep Wrangler JK and JL both use M14x1.5 lug nuts - confirm seat type before purchasing separately. Lug nuts not included. A suspension lift is strongly recommended at this offset. Covered by Method Race Wheels' Lifetime Structural Warranty.
