Lookin for 17” beadlocks. Will be running 35s for now. 2 door with 2 1/2 lift and trimmed fenders

If you want to move to 37s, look for a beadlock with 3.5" BS. That really starts to limit your options, but it is what it is.

I run method mr105 with 3.5" BS. Not the best BL out there but one of the best values for sure.

Mine get delivered today. Agree, not anywhere close to my preference if budget was not a concern, but hard to argue with the value they offer for us budget conscious guys.

Ran 3.75" BS Walkers with 37" MTRs and 2.5" RK lift and dont remember rubbing.

What is wrong with methods? We dont have any issues with our 101s.

Nothing "wrong" with them per se......(speaking specifically of the 105s) not my personal choice in general as far as looks and overall quality IMO, but as mentioned, they sure offer a ton of value at that price point. I'd rather have more bolts, wider ring, better interior design myself....but it's all personal preference. If budget wasn't an issue, I would have gone with Hutchinsons. Like Racelines, KMC Machetes, ATX or various others better as far as design.....but they all cost considerably more as well. My 105s just hit my doorstep. Price won out for me after Dirty Life debacle.


I'd also say there are a lot of designs I like better.....but once you move to 3.5" BS, the options shrink.

^ yep. They weren't my first choice looks or quality wise either, but $285 a wheel was also hard to pass up. When I say quality wise I mean the wheels are tapped for the beadlock rings, unlike the threaded inserts used in the ATX and Spyderlock wheels. If you use liberal amounts of anti-seize on all the bolts, you shouldn't have any problems. My buddy didn't use any on his Spyderlocks, and just had to drill EVERY single bold out when he swapped his tires. Real PITA, but I guess that's why the threaded inserts are clutch.

Looks wise...they look a little mall crawler-y I suppose, especially since they make the 305(?) Method wheels which is a simulation beadlock that looks identical to the 105's. Good thing is, shops don't refuse to touch them...since I lie and tell them they're "simulation beadlocks" hehehehe...

I had about 5 holes on 2 of my rims arrive with the threads pealed out (not tapped correctly). I didn't catch this until my final torque sequence. Ended up having to find some threaded inserts and installing them. I have not heard of another having this issue so I guess I was just lucky.
I have about 70k miles and my 2nd set of tires (37 km2's and now 37" cooper stt pros) and have been perfect ever since.

Had a tough time finding someone to balance them since they were beadlocks though. Nobody would touch them. Should have told them they were fake!

Threaded inserts huh? Did you have to drill a hole in the wheel first? What inserts did you use? Would love some more info, incase I have any problems down the road.
