AEV Borah wheels on JL

[zw470]

Such a good looking wheel, if they offered the JL version if machined galaxy black I probably would have gone with those instead of the Savegre II.

Anyone running spacers with their JL Borahs? If so what brand and what thickness? I just installed 37s and getting some major rubbing at lock on my lower control arms. I have a Clayton lift btw. Even my 35s rubbed slightly at lock and flexed.

I was hoping to keep the tires as tucked as possible by going with the JL Borahs but it looks like that's not going to happen with the new 37s. I don't feel like going through the hassle and expense of new wheels so spacers it is for now. I know I can remove a wheel and measure the stud and the relief pocket in the wheel but figure I'd ask here first.

I rub as well. For now, I just don't turn too tight.

I’m considering the JK Borah at 4.9”BS…or the JL with a spacer.

You could try the JK spec since they are a bit pushed out more with their +4mm offset
I know you mentioned you are trying to avoid buying a new set but they are cheaper. You can probably break even or make a little bit of money selling your JL spec Borahs

I hear ya. Unfortunately the Onyx colored wheels are the same price. The JK wheels will push it out .82" compared to the JL wheels. I blame the Clayton arms! Not that it's a bad thing. It's just that they are so damn beefy being made from 2" square tubing!

I'm going to measure the length of the studs this weekend and also measure the depth of the recess in the wheels and figure out the narrowest spacer I can get away with. I'll probably play with the stops as well but I really don't want to sacrifice turning radius if I don't have to.

I went with satin and I'm loving them. Just picked it up at AEV yesterday.

JK or JL spec?

It's a JL370, so JL spec.

So those are the 37's?

Yep. The diesel, 37s, and 4.63 gears make a great combo. Light years ahead of my previous manual 3.6L JLUR with 4.10 gears.

I've got a 4xe coming. Can't exceed 4.5 on gear ratio. Wondering what the 4xe feels like with 37s and the 4.10.

This is the best photo that shows what satin black actually looks like on a Jeep. I've searched everywhere.

So I drilled out another one today, PITA. Had to tap the thread and replaced all bolts with grade 10.9 black bolts, now it is much less likely to broke, and I dig the black on onyx look.

You can see some of the AEV bolts I get out are already bent, that is how soft they are.

Where did you find these black bolts?
