Upgrade your Jeep J20 with the Method Race Wheels 703 Series, featuring patented Bead Grip Technology, rugged aluminum construction, and an impressive 3,640 lb. load rating. Designed for both highway driving and demanding off-road conditions, these wheels combine dependable strength with an aggressive 12-window design and matte black finish.

Manufactured from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the Method 703 features a reinforced inner lip derived from Method's race wheel designs. The classic 12-window layout includes recessed METHOD lettering and a push-through center cap with the embossed METHOD Bead Grip logo.

Bead Grip Technology – Improved Tire Retention 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 703 does not require an external beadlock ring or specialized beadlock hardware. It uses conventional tire mounting while providing additional tire bead retention, making it a practical option for Jeep owners who want off-road capability without the maintenance associated with true beadlock wheels.

The Method 703 is backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty, subject to manufacturer warranty terms.

Designed for 8-Lug Jeep J20 Trucks

This 17x8.5-inch wheel features the 8x6.5-inch bolt pattern used on factory Jeep J20 trucks, along with a 0mm offset, 4.75-inch backspacing, and 130.81mm center bore.

With a 3,640 lb. load rating per wheel, the Method 703 offers heavy-duty construction for off-road and truck applications. The reinforced aluminum design provides strength without the added weight of many comparable steel wheels.

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 4.75-inch backspacing and 0mm offset may differ from your factory wheels. Verify clearance around steering linkage, suspension, brakes, and inner fenders before ordering.

The 130.81mm 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 3,640 lb. wheel load rating 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
