Those are dope and yes you should be fine with no BMC running a 0 offset. Those are simulated bead lock's with a special lip to seat the bead better when running low tire pressures. This probably does preform better than a standard style lip but it's not a "true beadlock" where each of those bolts actually comes in contact with the tire bead, physically locking it in place.I'm considering these Method 305NV in bronze inspired by this member's post (mainly because they look great and he also didn't have to do any spacers or body chopping). The options on DiscountTire for off-set are 0 or 25...I'd want zero right? Would this setup mess with anything long term or require any additions to keep things running smoothly? Also, do bead lock wheels add any additional things to consider as far as maintenance or headaches? Thanks!

The biggest issue with those 305's and true beadlocks in general, would probably be one of the bolts falling out and having to replace it. If this does happen it should not effect performance at all on the 305's, it will probably just bug you, but TBH not even sure if those bolts in the 305's have actual threads! The bolts may be mounted in place permanently, not sure.
On a true beadlock it's less ideal to lose a bolt but missing one bolt wont kill you, though I'd say you'd want to replace it for safety's sake. With true beadlocks you need to periodically check all the bolts on the wheels to make sure they aren't coming loose. I had to do that with the TRD rock warrior rims on my FJ, not beadlocks but same concept of having to check the bolts on the rims regularly. I was missing a few bolts on the rock rings on each wheel and it was fine...annoying though! Even though I would check them regularly to make sure they weren't coming loose...there were always a few that needed attention.
A lot of people seem to like these 305's and have good success w/ them, so you probably will too!
