35" and 37" JL pics with lift kit

[matchews]

@matchews,

The narrowest part of the stock rim (where the Jeep cap snaps in) is 2.22” or 56mm diameter. That point sits well away from the face of the tire carrier, and about 0.25” out from where the camera shaft taper changes, where the diameter is 2.05” or 50mm. Not that it matters, the base of the camera shaft taper is 2.70” or 69mm. The pics should help visualize the situation. You can see, in the first picture, the mark where my AEV wheels wouldn’t go on any further.

Thanks @VJ Smedlo! That really helps.

One more question. Do you have the measurement from the back of the carrier where the tire rests out to where the taper is down to the 50mm diameter? This measurement would be axial to the studs. One idea is to install longer studs with spacers to keep the wheel ID off of the taper (unless they are welded underneath that plastic). The wheel might interfere with the camera angle though.

Here is our new Sport with the 2.5in budget kit and 35in tires. I am ready for the 3.5in X-series kit and some 37s!

Where did you guys buy the rims? Looking for 20X10 Fuel assaults but not sure what the bolt pattern is exactly. Link?

Bolt pattern is 5x5, the offset/backspace is what I'd be concerned with.

Thank you! Any idea where I'd be able to order?

Offset for all fuel assaults are -18MM and looks fantastic from what I've seen.

I just bought my Vectors from my local tire shop. They were cheaper than any place I found online, especially when you factor in shipping vs. tax...

Do you guys have the gloss black?

Do you guys have the gloss black?

We do. The part number for the gloss you will need is D54620002647 just in case you want to try and search for a better price.

@matchews, I like the way you think. That’s where I was going... The stock wheels are almost exactly 1.75” from the back face to the front face. I’ll need to take the wheel off again to get your exact requested measurement, but the pics below will allow you to estimate. That mark left by my AEV wheel on the shaft is only about 1/8” outside the stock wheel when it is tightened down. The material thickness on the AEV wheel at the offending point is only about 1/8” (see earlier photo). We may be able to solve this problem by inserting a 1/2” to 3/8” plate between the mount and wheel.

Here’s mine on 35x12.5R17 BFG KO2’s. I’ll ad the spacers and the Mopar lift when they arrive later this week.

Not bad stock actually. The high lines make a world of difference over JK. More more room

I can’t tell for sure from the pictures, but it looks like the studs could be long enough to accommodate a spacer plate.

Are you adding spacers for more visual effect or for little more clearance?

Okay. Home now. Wheel off. That taper ends 1.2” away from the face of the carrier. The studs are 1.5” long. With the wheel in place, you have about 1” of thread engagement inside the nut. But wait, there’s more. There appears to be provisions for longer studs. See photo from inside the tire carrier. It looks like an easily-removable retainer plate holds those studs in place.
