Hi all
I have a UK JL Rubicon which comes with 255 75 17 MT tyres as stock and lower fender flares like the US Sahara.
I am looking at black wheels (to match the colour of the Jeep) with an offset that sits more flush than the current wheels - which seem to sit inboard the fender flares about an inch.
I was looking at method wheels but they seem unavailable in UK.
I quite like the AEV Borahs in satin black.
Couple of questions for those who run Borahs.
1) I assume the stock tyres would fit these?
Want to keep stock so I have full articulation without lift etc at this stage.
2) Does anyone have any pictures of Borahs running 255 75 17?
3) Do the Borahs throw a lot of debris up agains the hinges? I see the offset is around + 25. Wondering how that translates to damaging hinges with debris.
I would’ve though there is just enoughfender flare coverage with these.
4) I see when mounted on the rear tailgate the bump stops don’t reach the tyre. I presume a quick fix can amend this and the added weight of the borah won’t require any hinge strengthening whether I go off road or not when using stock tyres.
5) is the additional weight of the wheel noticeable? Ie on long journeys with hill climbs.
thanks all for your help.
