AEV pintlers WK and new JL have same geometry

[marcram]

I'm happy to see that my current AEV pintlers have the same geometry (back spacing) as those for the JL. Hopefully they are the same as for the JT.

Specs for JL where's

I believe the hub bore on the new JL wheels are slightly different than the JK/XK/WK wheels of the past, but it shouldn't be an issue. Plenty of people have run them on the JL's before AEV started producing them for the new platform so the Gladiator should be nearly identical. The JK ones have a backspacing of 5.2" while the XK/WK ones were 5.75" I believe so the JL being at 5.8" will work just fine. I will be running the Borah beadlock wheel on my Gladiator when I get it.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed the wks have the same +25mm offset, so I'm happy. Though, the gladiator may have different geometry in terms of offset.
