Stock wheels. I could use a center mount brake light, but there is still the issue of the carrier rubbing on the backside of the wheel, and the gap between the wheel mount and the wheel.
You are correct. So the factory wheels are a very high offset (around +44) so like most JK tire carriers, if you are running the factory wheels, you do have to run a spacer to allow for fitment.
The Camera mount is being resolved. In about two weeks I should have a replacement piece that will better fit the camera available at no charge. As for the hinge bolts I do apologize about that. If you are ever missing any hardware please let us know and we are happy to either supply sizes if preferred or the missing bolts at no charge!installed the carrier over the weekend and having the same 2 complaints as everyone else
1) missing hinge bolts
2) rear camera housing too long
other than that the carrier is great for the money. came from a smittybilt adapter plate that jiggled over every little bump to a now solid carrier that doesnt make my 3.5 backspacing wheel stick out a foot. feels no different opening and closing the tailgate as before 17x9 37s
Hey, could you please confirm that your wheel BS is 3.5" ?installed the carrier over the weekend and having the same 2 complaints as everyone else

I did get a PM from Brandon at DV8. They have posted instructions in this thread and I'm waiting on additional hardware to be shipped to me. sorry for the reply delay. Been out of range for a little while.
Nice. How thick is the spacer you used?Got a wheel spacer and installed the carrier. Agree with others on this thread -- the carrier is a good deal financially, and it looks good. OEM brake light is nice and snug to the top of the 34" tire I have on it. The tire sits nice and close to the bumper and doesn't sit far out from the door itself. All in all, I am satisfied with it.
Lol. Thx I just want to see if my 4.5" BS wheel would fit. If I did the math right, you are at 4.5 now. 6.25(stock BS) -1.625 (spacer)= 4.5 (nee BS)
Thx
PM sent!
