Did you end up using stock lug nuts or did you need to order a slimmer set?

Thanks for confirming!

I like the silver, seems almost everyone wants black wheels. You did a great job painting them, they look good. Enjoy your Jeep

I just checked because i wondered if i needed a set too, but the oem lug nuts i have take a 7/8 socket, and that same 7/8 socket falls down into the lug holes on the saltas i got from aev with room to spare. So it looks like the factory nuts and a standard 7/8 socket fits fine. Makes sense, as i'm running oem lug nuts on my jk-spec savegres as well

Update - the stock lug nuts will fit, and a typical non-impact "thinner" 7/8" socket will also fit to install them. However, the tire shop only had thick impact sockets and their 7/8" would not fit. So i bought a set of cheap lug nuts that are smaller just to not have any issue between standard sockets and impact sockets. May be worth ordering some quadratec lug nuts prior to install, otherwise, bring a non-impact socket and wrench

Those look good.

@Jeepin' John they turned out great! I like the flat black.

How much poker is there? It looks like an inch or so but could you snap a head on or from the back shot?

Sure thing - total poke at sidewall bulge is 1.5". Poke at tread shoulder is about 1" using my level as a straight edge and tape measure off the fender

Looks perfect! Thank you for the follow up shots ?

Mine came in super quick from AEV and now I’m just waiting to order tires.

Hey, you can only see one side at a time anyway right?! Haha

And just to be clear, that is poke with a 285/75 tire. Happy jeepin'!

Setup looks great. Is this a sport leveled in the front?

Black shows no detail until you are almost close enough to touch them. Silver looks ok from any distance . I actually prefer to split the difference and go with a glossy gunmetal .

Got these silver saltas on sale, and mounting new BFG's in a week or so. Should i leave them silver or spray them satin black? Your opinion is appreciated!

Silver. Everyone does black.

I believe that was oem sport fenders and a 1" front spacer. Can't remember 100% though.

currently at 1.5" front spacer, 1/2" rear spacer, rubicon fenders, and 35's. Happy jeepin'!
