Method Race Wheels MR707 Bead Grip 17x8.5 +38mm 5x108 63.4CB Matte Black Wheel – Ford/Volvo/Jaguar
SKU: mrwMR70778549538
Overview
The Method Race Wheels MR707 Bead Grip (Part# MR70778549538) is a 17x8.5 cast aluminum off-road and trail-series wheel engineered for trucks, SUVs, and CUVs running a 5x108 bolt pattern — including Ford, Volvo, Lincoln, and Jaguar platforms. Finished in an aggressive Matte Black, the MR707 brings Method's patented Bead Grip® technology from the race-proven 407 UTV wheel to street-legal passenger and light-truck fitments, letting you run lower tire pressures on the trail without needing traditional beadlock wheels.
Key Features & Benefits
- Patented Bead Grip® Technology — Precision-machined grooves on both the inner and outer bead seats engage the tire bead for a dramatically stronger hold under extreme side loads and reduced air pressures, eliminating the need for traditional beadlocks while remaining 100% street legal.
- Aggressive Safety Hump on Bead Seats — An enhanced bead-seat safety hump further prevents de-beading, giving you the confidence to air down on technical terrain without risking a rolled tire.
- Solid A356 Aluminum with T6 Heat Treatment — Premium aerospace-grade aluminum alloy combined with T6 heat treatment delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, with a load rating of 1,850 lbs for this fitment.
- Reinforced Inner Lip — Derived directly from Method's race-proven MRW competition wheels, the thickened inner lip adds structural rigidity where trail impacts hit hardest.
- Rally-Inspired Multi-Spoke Design — The iconic multi-spoke aesthetic is adapted from the legendary 407 UTV Bead Grip, featuring a debossed METHOD logo on the outer lip for a clean, race-ready look.
- Hub-Centric Fitment — The 63.4mm center bore is machined hub-centric for a seamless, vibration-free fit on compatible Ford, Volvo, Lincoln, and Jaguar hubs.
- Industry-Leading Lifetime Structural Warranty — Method Race Wheels backs the MR707 with a lifetime structural warranty, one of the best guarantees in the aftermarket wheel industry.
- Sold Individually — Purchase as many as needed; sold one wheel per unit for full flexibility.
What's Included
- 1x Method MR707 Bead Grip Wheel (17x8.5, 5x108, +38mm Offset, Matte Black)
- Snap-in center cap with embossed METHOD Bead Grip® logo

Installation
The Method MR707 features hub-centric sizing with a 63.4mm center bore machined to match factory Ford, Volvo, Lincoln, and Jaguar hubs for a precision, vibration-free fit. Installation follows a standard wheel swap procedure — torque lug fasteners to your vehicle manufacturer's specification (typically 75–85 ft-lbs for 5x108 Ford/Lincoln applications; 85–95 ft-lbs for Volvo) using the correct lug hardware for your platform. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque sequence and to verify clearance with your existing brake calipers and suspension components, especially if paired with new tires.
