Upgrade your classic Full Size Jeep with the Method Race Wheels 105 Series Beadlock Wheel, built for serious off-road performance. Featuring an aggressive 12-window design, matte black finish, and genuine beadlock construction, this wheel combines rugged styling with the strength needed for demanding trails, rock crawling, and off-road adventures.
Constructed from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the Method 105 features a reinforced inner lip and a forged 6061-T6 aluminum beadlock ring. Unlike conventional wheels, the beadlock ring mechanically clamps the tire's outer bead against the wheel, helping keep the tire seated when running reduced air pressure for improved traction on rocks, sand, and challenging terrain.
The distinctive 12-window design features recessed METHOD lettering, a durable matte black finish, and contrasting gold-toned zinc-plated hardware. A matching METHOD center cap completes the appearance.
Built for Off-Road Performance
Engineered with a 3,600 lb. load rating, the Method 105 combines durable aluminum construction with a reinforced wheel design. Grade 8 zinc-plated beadlock hardware is included, along with additional threaded mounting holes around the wheel for servicing the beadlock ring.
This particular wheel features the 5x5.5-inch bolt pattern found on 1963–1973 Full Size Jeeps, including early Wagoneers and select Gladiator/J-Series trucks equipped with factory five-lug axles. The 0mm offset and 4.75-inch backspacing make proper wheel, brake, hub, and suspension clearance checks important before installation.
IMPORTANT: Genuine beadlock wheel intended for off-road use only. These wheels are not DOT-approved for highway use. Proper beadlock assembly, hardware torque, and periodic inspections are required.
Sold individually. Includes one wheel, forged beadlock ring, mounting hardware, center cap, and valve stem. Tire and lug nuts are not included.
Fitment Notes
Designed for early Full Size Jeeps equipped with the factory 5x5.5-inch (5x139.7mm) wheel bolt pattern. Bolt-pattern compatibility alone does not guarantee complete vehicle fitment.
Some early heavy-duty J-Series trucks were equipped with eight-lug axles and will not accept this wheel. Verify your vehicle's actual wheel bolt pattern before ordering.
The 4.75-inch backspacing and 0mm offset may differ significantly from your factory wheels. Verify clearance around steering components, brakes, suspension, and inner fenders.
The 108mm 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. Lug nuts are sold separately.
Does not fit factory six-lug 1974–1991 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer applications, later six-lug J10 trucks, or eight-lug J20 trucks.
Fits:
- 1963–1973 Wagoneer — Factory 5-Lug Axles; Clearance Verification Required
- 1963–1973 Gladiator / J-Series Trucks — Factory 5-Lug Axles; Clearance Verification Required
