Using a JK AEV Borah rim on the JL... camera issues

[mgroeger]

Has anyone used the JK version of the AEV Borah rim on the JL yet? I know the JL version of the AEV Borah rim has a slightly bigger center opening to accommodate the larger camera. I called AEV and they confirmed that the JK version of the rim will be a tight squeeze on the camera but there may be people who have found a work around. Anybody do this yet?

I’m running the JK Borah. It’s gonna be a snug fit on the factory tire carrier, but it will fit. I sanded mine down just a tad and it seemed to help.

Thanks! Overall I like the look of the JK version much better, it sticks out perfectly from the fender. I called AEV and they said that the reason the JL is a totally different rim is they need their rims to keep a factory tire position in terms of sticking out from the fenders. That way they can have vendors in all 50 states. Some states will not allow tires to go past the fenders which means those dealers in those states can't stick a JK version on a JL and be legal.

I agree, the JK fit looks way better on the JL. I’ve been running mine with no issues, and I Love the Spent Brass finish.

Where do you sand?

Where do you sand?

In the circled area. This is where the fit get really snug, sanding it down a bit helps with getting to sit properly.
