I am in the market, as most of us are for some wheels to run 35s/37s. I contacted AEV to determine if their JK wheels would fit the JL since I had heard reports that they do not work perfectly.
AEV Respose: "Yes and no, the bolt pattern is the same between the two but the offset/backspacing of the JK wheels are not ideal for the JL. Also, the center bore of our wheels fits pretty tightly over the center backup camera shaft and may mark up the shaft if installed. We are working on wheels specific for the JL, but it will be a little while before they're available. JK wheels on a JL is not something we recommend, but it can be done if you were so inclined."
When asked what the idea backspacing/offset for the JL is, they responded that they do not know at this time and their engineers are working to figure out the ideal wheel for the JL.
So what offset/backspacing have you found to work for you with 35s/37s?
