Method Race Wheels 711-HD Bead Grip 17", 18" & 20" Wheels
Description
The Method Race Wheels 711-HD Bead Grip is built for heavy-duty trucks that carry heavy loads or travel over rough terrain. Method's patented Bead Grip Technology helps keep the tire seated when running lower air pressures off-road, while aggressive safety humps provide additional resistance against the tire coming off the wheel. A reinforced inner lip adds strength for demanding conditions.
Constructed from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, the 711-HD offers a load rating of 3,310 lbs. per wheel for 6-lug configurations and 4,500 lbs. per wheel for 8-lug configurations. Its 12-window spoke design includes debossed METHOD logos, replaceable 12-point lip bolts, and a snap-in center cap.
Available in 17x8.5, 18x9, and 20x9 sizes with Matte Black and Machined finishes, the 711-HD offers multiple configurations for different trucks. Wheel offset determines how far inward or outward the wheel sits, while backspacing helps determine clearance behind the wheel. Use the fitment table below to compare specifications, and confirm your truck's bolt pattern, hub bore, brake clearance, and load requirements before ordering.

About Method Race Wheels
Method Race Wheels motto is œlighter, stronger, faster. This sounds like a catchy tagline, but is that all its about? Ultimately, its your vehicles responsibility to turn your wheel and tire combo to get your 8,000lbs.+ truck rolling down the road. As the weight of the wheel and tire package increases, it takes additional power to move that mass. Thus, the lighter you can make a wheel and tire package, the faster, or more efficient your truck will be. That said, unless you have strength, theres no point in a light wheel as utter catastrophe can occur. Fortunately, Methos Race Wheels has a sharp focus on weight reduction while maintaining or increasing strength, alleviating concerns over safety, all netting a better overall product.
METHOD RACE WHEELSThe next thing to address is the name: Method Race Wheels. Does this mean that these wheels are intended for racing applications? Well, maybe in the early days of Method, but that is long gone. The majority of Method Race Wheels catalog are for street vehicle, but the name pays homage to the engineering put into every wheel design that results in a high performance package at ever corner.
METHOD OFF ROAD WHEELSThe next thing to discuss would be the offroad styling of their wheels. Are Method wheels specifically designed for offroad use? No way! While MRW does offer a lineup of legitimate bead lock wheels, the majority of their styles featuring some kind of bolt at the wheels lip (or bead), these are merely for styling, sometimes called a simulated bead lock. Now, what Method does realize is that many of us are weekend warriors. We either commute to work in our trucks all week, or we work our trucks all week, but then on the weekends we like to hit some offroad trails. In these instances, we may air down our tires for better traction. Method has us covered with their unique Bead Grip technology that ensures a better wheel to tire seal even at lower air pressures.
WHEEL OFFSET EXPLAINED- Offset: Measured from center line of wheel to mounting surface
- Backspace: Measures from inner lip of wheel to mounting surface
- Positive Offset: Outside center line of the wheel. This brings the wheel in towards the center of the vehicle. Typically found on vehicles that are stock, leveled or lifted up to 3
- Negative Offset: Inside center line of the wheel. This pushes the wheel out away from center of the vehicle. Typically found on vehicles lifted over 3
