    Method Race Wheels Beadlocks Issue

    The Grade 8 bolts are what Method supplies with the wheel and ring combo. I assume they have tested it and found it to be what works best. The bolts are threaded all the way to the heads, so no shoulder. I did locate bolts with a shoulder, but it seems they would be right on the edge of having...

    Method Race Wheels Beadlocks Issue

    Looks like the tire shop may have used some silicone as well. This is the ring ... I spoke to the local 4WD shop that helped with the suspension install. They are Jeep guys, but they know tires and beadlocks. As soon as I told him what was happening he said spacers are the answer. Ordered...

    Method Race Wheels Beadlocks Issue

    The Grade 8 hardware came with the wheels, all I have done is source the same hardware in bulk as replacements. Taking the wheel off the truck and removing the ring (24 bolts) and then drilling and removing the broken bolt shafts every month is a non-starter. I will sell these or put them on a...

    Method Race Wheels Beadlocks Issue

    The first time I called them to see about getting a new lock ring and checking the tq spec I failed to ask about it as an overall concern. I will be looping back this week to discuss with them further about it now. The wheels came with Grade 8 hardware and I have replaced some with new Grade 8...

    Method Race Wheels MR105 Wheel Matte Black 17x8.5 6x5.5 (6x139.7) 0mm Offset with Beadlocks I've had these on my truck for a few years now and they have seen some solid use. Pre-Covid I took a hard hit on the rock ring and noticed it snapped off a bolt head. I ignored it for a week or so and...
