What do you guys think of the AEV Borah wheel on a gladiator? I"ll be getting my Firecracker Red Rubicon mid May and really like the look of the Galaxy Black Borah wheel. Would love to know if anyone out there maybe has the same thoughts? Maybe you already put the Borah wheels on your gladiator and can show it off?

I want to run the Pintlers on mine when it gets here but I'm waiting to purchase to be sure they fit properly. AEV does their backspacing differently than most wheel manufacturers and actually designed them specifically for the JL Wrangler. Thats great but I understand some wheels have brake caliper clearance issues and I'm not certain that the brakes on the JT will be the same as the JL. If they are bigger than the JL they most likely will not fit as AEV states that anything larger than 1/4oz stick on weights will interfere with the calipers. I have not seen anyone saying they have bolted a set of AEV's on a JT yet..

I have JK Borah’s in Galaxy Black on 285/75/17 Nitto’s on mine & they only stick out a little & have plenty of clearance with brakes these Trucks have really big brakes. I hear pintlers for JK have clearance issues. I have no lift & no issues

I also was wondering about the Borah wheel. Has anyone put a 17” on our gladiator?

Huh ? Pretty sure all Borah’s are are 17’s and 80% of JL’s and JT Gladiators are 17’s
