Upgrade your Full Size Jeep with the Method Race Wheels 305 NV Series, combining rugged off-road styling with durable aluminum construction for both highway driving and trail adventures. Featuring an aggressive 12-window design, matte black finish, and contrasting gold-toned lip hardware, this wheel delivers a distinctive look for your Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Cherokee SJ, or J10 truck.
Manufactured from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the Method 305 NV features durable one-piece construction and a 2,500 lb. load rating per wheel. The iconic 12-window design includes recessed METHOD lettering, while the matching matte black lip and METHOD center cap complete the appearance.
Street-Loc Styling – Beadlock Appearance Without the Beadlock
The Method 305 features the Street-Loc V.1 lip, with an undercut outer edge that recreates the aggressive appearance of a genuine beadlock wheel. Replaceable gold-toned lip bolts complete the design, with optional hardware colors available for further customization.
Unlike genuine beadlock wheels, the Method 305 NV uses conventional tire mounting without an external beadlock ring. This provides the appearance of a beadlock wheel without the additional assembly and maintenance associated with true beadlock designs, making it a practical choice for everyday driving and recreational off-road use.
Designed for 6-Lug Full Size Jeeps
This 17x8.5-inch wheel features the 6x5.5-inch bolt pattern found on many Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Cherokee SJ, and J10 trucks. The 0mm offset and 4.75-inch backspacing offer a modern aftermarket wheel configuration, although proper clearance around brakes, suspension, steering components, and front hubs must 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 Full Size Jeeps equipped with factory 6x5.5-inch (6x139.7mm) wheel bolt patterns. Bolt pattern compatibility alone does not guarantee complete vehicle fitment.
The 4.75-inch backspacing and 0mm offset may differ from your original factory wheels. Verify tire clearance around suspension components, steering linkage, brakes, and inner fenders before ordering.
The 108mm 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.
