Upgrade your Full Size Jeep with the Method Race Wheels 305 NV Series, combining rugged off-road styling with durable construction for both highway driving and trail adventures. Featuring an aggressive 12-window design, Method Bronze finish, matte black lip, and gold accent hardware, these wheels provide a distinctive look for your Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Cherokee SJ, or J10 truck.
Constructed from solid A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the Method 305 NV offers excellent strength and durability while maintaining a lighter weight than comparable steel wheels. The reinforced design provides a 2,500 lb. load rating per wheel, making it a practical upgrade for classic Full Size Jeeps.
Street-Loc Design – Beadlock Appearance Without the Beadlock
The Method 305 features the Street-Loc V.1 lip, with an undercut outer edge that creates the appearance of a genuine beadlock wheel. Replaceable gold-toned lip bolts complete the look, with optional hardware colors available for further customization.
Unlike Method's true beadlock wheels, the 305 NV uses conventional tire mounting and does not require beadlock ring assembly or maintenance. This makes it an excellent choice for owners who want aggressive off-road styling while retaining a wheel suitable for everyday driving.
The wheel also features recessed METHOD lettering, a push-through center cap with embossed METHOD logo, and a durable matte/satin finish.
Designed for 6-Lug Full Size Jeeps
This 17x8.5-inch wheel features the 6x5.5-inch bolt pattern found on many Full Size Jeeps, including Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Cherokee SJ, and J10 trucks. The 0mm offset and 4.75-inch backspacing provide a modern wheel configuration, although tire, suspension, brake, and hub clearance should be verified before installation.
Method backs the 305 NV 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 vehicles equipped with factory 6x5.5-inch (6x139.7mm) wheel bolt patterns. Bolt pattern compatibility alone does not guarantee complete vehicle fitment.
Verify the 4.75-inch backspacing and 0mm offset against your Jeep's suspension, steering components, brakes, and tire clearance.
The 107.95mm center bore must clear the factory hubs. The included push-through center cap may not fit over protruding factory 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 8-lug J20 trucks or earlier 5-lug Full Size Jeeps.
