AEV Salta

Wondering if anyone has tried to put these (AEV Salta) on a JL? Backspacing is around 5-5.20 but with the wider axles (1" for my sport) was hoping that they would clear everything. I know the bolt pattern is same but wondering if the studs will fit the wheel.

Any feedback is welcome!

The back spacing should work out fine but I would definitely contact them about the mounting holes. Not all 5x5 wheels can take a 14mm stud.

What Eddie said but also what size tire you plan to run? Being a Sport axles are narrower.

35’s. Yeah narrower than the JL Rubicon but still 1in wider than the JK. I had 4.5 backspaced wheels with 35’s on my jk so 5in or so should work with the JL.

Maybe I should be patient and wait for manufactures to come out with some other options!

I called AEV to ask about their roof rack & the guy I spoke to mentioned they were working on new wheels. I’d hold off till they make some official announcements.
