Default AEV wheels

Alright. From my understanding the stock wheels for the JK are not-hub centric.

AEV claims that their wheels ARE hub centric. What does this mean for me? Are they still compatible?

Yes, they are compatible and will technically mount up to your axle more accuately as it uses the hubs to center it as opposed to the lugs. But, so long as you take your time installing lug centric wheels and make sure to use a star pattern when doing it, they are just as good IMHO.

I see... I wasn't sure if there would be any problems or added stress with a hub centric wheel for a vehicle that typically uses lug-centric.


More decisions for me to make.
