AEV Borah Wheels on your Gladiator?

[Gadgetech]

Looks great. I have the same wheels sitting boxed waiting for my black Mojave to show up. Will go with the same type and size rubber too. Are you happy with it? What did you do about the spare? I'm thinking about doing the ring in orange but will probably wait awhile.

I am happy with it. The BFGs are a nice improvement over the Falken Wildpeak MT that came on the Jeep. I haven’t done anything with the spare yet. Maybe if I see a used tire with some tread left, I’d go that route. Next up is a small lift from Rusty’s. I’ve thought about having the rings powder coated another color but I like the silver, kinda gives a monochromatic look.

This looks hot. The silver highlight against the granite crystal is a good combo.

The rings definitely complete the look IMO. Torquing 80 bolts was fun. ? At least they aren’t beadlocks which have much more strict torque requirements.

Man that tire/wheel comno looks great, Cooper is calling those an MT? Dont look as agressive as i would expect. Wheel color gloss black w matching ring?

@KurtP, I seem to recall from your other posts that you are running the Clayton upper and lower control arms, And AEV relocation brackets. Per one of the other posters above wanting to know if these Borahs will clear the Clayton control arms? @bastage was concerned he wouldn't be able to run Borahs with the Clayton lift.

I didnt think there was at first. Turns out it will kiss the control arm slightly if you hold the wheel tight against full lock.

Im adding 1” wheel spacers to get the bare minimum i need to clear a drag link flip. If i wasnt doing a DLF, i wouldnt add the spacers. The slightness of the rub and the limited times you experience it is nothing to lose any sleep over.

Thanks for the update KurtP. You are running 37s and doing the drag ling flip. If you are just kissing the control arm with 37's, you think if someone was running 35's they would clear?

They might. Its close.

@PackMule i really wouldnt sweat it on 37’s. Its so incredibly minor. You can barely feel it in the wheel and cant hear it with the windows down.

Thanks. I don't think it will be an obstacle.

Here is a pic of my set up and full “at rest” turn...:so turning the wheel as far as it will stay without holding it against the steering stop.

In order to get contact you have to hold the wheel all the way against the steering stop.
