I have the AEV wheels, and am running a MC gamechanger 2.5". When you order the MC lift you can specify what your backspacing is and they send you parts that work with that (I chose the stock option, since the AEV wheels have the back face at same location as stock wheels). Everything works fine...
No spacers, that was whole point of aev wheels. Dont remember how much bump stop I used, I think 2”?
they supply lift parts that are compatible w wheels w stock or equiv backspacing. I think it has to do with sway bar links and maybe shock mounts, but I obviously don’t have the kit for wheels w less backspacing so impossible to know the details exactly. I’m sure they can tell you the diff if you call or email.
Interesting.aev Wheels have higher backspacing but they’re also 17x9 instead of 17x7.5 like stock so the inside lip of the wheel is in the exact same spot as the inside lip of a stock wheel. For suspension rubbing issues there’s no diff between aev wheels and stock. Of course w a wider rim and tire the outside lip and tire edge are further out so there may be fender, etc rubbing.
I have 37x12.5 atko2s
