Upgrade your Jeep J20 with the Method Race Wheels 701 HD Series, combining heavy-duty strength, rugged styling, and advanced Bead Grip Technology for both highway driving and off-road adventures. Featuring a classic 8-window design, matte black finish, and reinforced aluminum construction, these wheels are built for demanding conditions and heavier-duty truck applications.

Manufactured from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the Method 701 HD features a reinforced inner lip derived from Method's race wheel designs. Its heavy-duty construction provides an impressive 4,500 lb. load rating per wheel, making it an excellent option for J20 owners looking for a strong aftermarket wheel.

Bead Grip Technology – Improved Traction Without a Traditional Beadlock

Method's patented Bead Grip Technology uses specially designed bead seats and aggressive safety humps to help keep the tire securely seated when running reduced air pressure off-road. Lower tire pressures can increase the tire's contact area, improving traction and ride comfort on rocks, sand, and uneven terrain.

Unlike traditional beadlock wheels, the Method 701 HD does not require an external beadlock ring or specialized beadlock hardware. It uses conventional tire mounting while providing additional bead retention for off-road driving.

The wheel also features recessed METHOD lettering, a durable matte black finish, and a push-through center cap with the METHOD Bead Grip logo.

Designed for 8-Lug Jeep J20 Trucks

This 18x9-inch wheel features the 8x6.5-inch bolt pattern used on factory Jeep J20 trucks, along with a +18mm offset, 5.75-inch backspacing, and 130.8mm center bore.

The deeper backspacing makes proper clearance verification especially important on original J20 axles, steering components, and front locking hubs.

Method backs the 701 HD with a limited lifetime structural warranty, subject to manufacturer warranty terms.

Sold individually. Includes one wheel and METHOD center cap. Tires, lug nuts, and valve stems are not included.

Fitment Notes

Designed for Jeep J20 trucks equipped with factory 8x6.5-inch (8x165.1mm) wheel bolt patterns. Bolt pattern compatibility alone does not guarantee complete vehicle fitment.

The 5.75-inch backspacing is significantly deeper than the approximately 4-inch backspacing commonly found on original J20 wheels. Verify clearance around steering linkage, suspension, brakes, and inner fenders before ordering.

The 130.8mm center bore must clear the factory hubs. The included push-through center cap may not fit over protruding front hubs or manual locking hubs.

Requires small-diameter lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat. Original factory lug nuts may not have the correct seating design. Lug nuts are sold separately.

The 4,500 lb. load rating is the wheel's individual capacity and does not increase the vehicle's factory GVWR or axle ratings.

Does not fit factory 6-lug J10 trucks, Wagoneers, Grand Wagoneers, or Cherokee SJ models without axle modifications.

Fits:

• 1974–1988 J20 Trucks — Factory 8-Lug Axles; Wheel, Hub, and Steering Clearance Verification Required
