AEV Salta for JK on JL

[Deki]

I had silver AEV saltas on my Power Wagon and i love the way the silver ones look. I wanted to get a set for the Rubicon, but did not want to go to a darker wheel. Is anyone running these on a JL, and would there be any potential issues with it?


The specs on the wheels are 17x8.5, 5.2 inch backspace, +10 off set. I'm running the stock 285/70 tire with a 392 suspension, so about a 2.5 inch lift over a stock 2023 Rubicon.

I searched and could not find the info I'm looking for.

No issues with running the JK version. Still a 5x5 bolt pattern and that offset won’t stick out too much at all.

You might have issues on the spare with the reverse camera, as the hub bore increased slightly on the JL wheels due to the camera tube thingy. I have AEV Borah beadlocks, JK spec, on my JL and had to machine my Teraflex tire carrier mount down to fit the JK hub bore.

No problems on the axles though.

Hey, thanks for the reply brother. I appreciate it.

How much did you have to machine the tire carrier down?

Motobilt makes a nice plate relocate that integrates camera as well.

Honestly I do not know I took it to a machine shop and dropped off the wheel with the camera tube from Teraflex. Attached photo of the result.

I ran a set of JK Saltas on my 2020 and loved the look. Stock tire carrier was a pain. You have to trim the plastic down quite a bit for it to fit flush, but it can be done. That terafelx carrier is a lot cleaner looking than what I accomplished.

How far would these stick out vs the JL Salta XRs?

They wont. All AEV JK wheels are +10 as far as I know. Should make you flush or a little tucked on an XR.

And Salta is Atlas backwards. Don’t know why I noticed that.
