AEV Borah Wheels
 
I am ready to pull the trigger on a set of Borah wheels but being there are none local I am trying to find pictures of the various color combinations while mounted on a Jeep. Any here you could share?

I like the Satin Borah's but they only make those for the JL. They have different backsets and i was wondering if I could install them on my JK? I will run 37's on a 2.5" lift.

Also considered the spend brass but I would like to see a photo of them on a Gobi Tan Jeep - photos if anyone has them!

You might have better luck finding pics of these wheels on AEV's forum, they've got a decent following there that will have all of the info you'd like and the engineers occasionally chime in as well.

You're really going to want 3.5" BS to run 37s. I don't know what BS those wheels have, but I'd bet dollars to donuts it's not 3.5".

My friends Pintler's were around 5.5" if I remember right. They have as close to stock back space as possible for drive ability.

Pintlers came in two different backspacing options, neither were good for larger tires. I run them plus a wheel spacer.

I ran Pintlers, Savgres and Saltas with 35x12.5-17 and never had an issue. I know a lot of guys run them with 37's. They are 5.2" BS the Boras are 4.9. The orginal pintler bead locks were 4.5".

Borahs for the JK have a 4.9" backset

Borahs for the JL have a 5.72" backset

I want to run the JL's on my JK because of the color option.
