This variant is sized 17x9 with a -12mm offset, drilled in a 6x165.1mm (6x6.5) bolt pattern with a 108mm center bore, and finished in Raw Machined aluminum. The MR103 uses a one-piece solid A356 aluminum shell with a proprietary heat treatment for maximum fatigue resistance under off-road loads. The beadlock ring is forged from 6061 aluminum using Method's V.4 design for superior clamping force and bead retention compared to cast rings. Redundant sets of threaded beadlock hardware holes are machined directly into the wheel so damaged threads can be relocated without scrapping the ring or wheel. The -12mm offset and reinforced inner lip increase clearance for oversized brake calipers and provide additional room for suspension travel on lifted trucks and SUVs running aggressive tire sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17x9 sizing with -12mm offset and 6x165.1mm (6x6.5) bolt pattern for wide-truck fitment including Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra, Tahoe, Suburban, and Sequoia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid A356 aluminum construction with proprietary heat treatment for superior strength-to-weight ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged 6061 aluminum V.4 beadlock ring for maximum clamping force and bead retention under off-road loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced inner lip for extreme durability and increased brake caliper clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedundant sets of threaded beadlock hardware holes machined into the wheel for serviceability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 8 zinc-plated beadlock hardware kit included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e108mm center bore for direct fitment on 6x6.5 hub-piloted applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 2,700 to 4,000 lbs depending on configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw Machined finish: natural aluminum with machine-finished face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually — one wheel per order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMR10379070312BR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMRWMR10379070312BR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot individually barcoded (verify at checkout)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOffset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-12mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6x165.1mm (6x6.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCenter Bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackspacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.53 in (approximately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.4 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoad Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,700 to 4,000 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShell Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid A356 aluminum with proprietary heat treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeadlock Ring Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged 6061 aluminum (V.4 design)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaw Machined\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade 8 zinc-plated beadlock hardware kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 wheel (sold individually)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Method MR103 17x9 -12mm 6x6.5 Raw Machined beadlock wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 8 zinc-plated beadlock hardware kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Method Race Wheels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethod Race Wheels is a US manufacturer founded by off-road racers who needed a wheel that could handle the punishment of desert racing without the weight penalty of steel. The MR103 Beadlock is one of Method's most recognized competition designs, used by professional trophy truck teams across the major desert race circuits. Method engineers and manufactures their wheels in the United States and backs each wheel with their structural warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles does the 6x6.5 (6x165.1mm) bolt pattern fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6x165.1mm bolt pattern (also called 6x6.5 in inch measurements) is used on a wide range of full-size trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota Sequoia. Always verify your specific year and model's hub bore and offset requirements before ordering, as some model years use different offsets or require hub-centric spacers to achieve proper fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this wheel street legal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeadlock wheels are designed for off-road and competition use. Street legality varies by state. In many US states, beadlock wheels are not permitted for on-road use because the bolted beadlock ring design is considered non-standard. Check your local and state regulations before using this wheel on public roads. For off-road, race, and recreational use this wheel has no restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the V.4 beadlock ring differ from standard beadlock rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethod's V.4 forged 6061 aluminum beadlock ring is designed to deliver more consistent clamping force across the tire bead than cast aluminum or steel rings. Forging produces a denser grain structure than casting, which reduces the risk of ring deflection or cracking under repeated off-road impact loads. The V.4 designation indicates the fourth generation of Method's beadlock ring design, incorporating geometry refinements from real-world racing feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the -12mm offset mean for my suspension clearance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNegative offset means the wheel mounting face sits inboard of the wheel centerline. A -12mm offset pushes the wheel outward relative to the hub, widening the vehicle's track width and increasing clearance between the inner barrel of the wheel and suspension components such as coilovers, shocks, and control arms. This is the standard offset spec for most lifted off-road truck builds running larger tire sizes. Verify your specific lift height and tire width combination for clearance on your vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wheel come with a center cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeadlock wheels typically do not include center caps in the traditional sense due to the structural ring design. Check the Method Race Wheels website or contact Method directly for compatible cap accessories for the MR103 if needed for your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tire size can I run with this 17x9 -12mm wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 17x9 -12mm wheel is designed to accommodate a wide range of off-road tire sizes. Common pairings on 6x6.5 trucks include 35x12.50R17, 37x12.50R17, and 33x12.50R17 tires depending on lift height and fender clearance. A beadlock wheel excels with tires run at very low pressures (under 15 PSI) where the beadlock ring mechanically clamps the tire bead to prevent dismounting during off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I torque the beadlock ring hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethod Race Wheels recommends following the torque specifications included with the Grade 8 beadlock hardware kit. Generally, beadlock ring bolts are torqued in a star pattern to a low initial value (typically 10-12 ft-lbs), then re-torqued to the final specification (typically 15-18 ft-lbs) in multiple passes. After the first off-road run, re-torque all beadlock ring bolts to verify they have not loosened under load. Re-torque intervals should be performed regularly based on intensity of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I run this wheel without using it as a beadlock?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MR103 is a dedicated beadlock wheel and is designed to be used with the beadlock ring in place. Running the wheel without the ring properly installed and torqued defeats the purpose of the beadlock design and is not recommended. If you do not require beadlock functionality, Method offers the MR105 and other non-beadlock designs in the same bolt pattern and size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify bolt pattern (6x165.1mm \/ 6x6.5), center bore (108mm), offset (-12mm), and load rating against your vehicle specifications before mounting tires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean wheel mounting surfaces and hub faces on the vehicle to remove rust, debris, or old wheel weights before installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf using the wheel as a beadlock: seat the tire bead on the inner barrel, position the beadlock ring over the outer bead, and install all Grade 8 ring bolts by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque beadlock ring bolts in a star\/cross pattern to the first-pass specification in the included hardware instructions.
