Default JKS Quicker Disconnects

Does anyone know if there are any rubbing/clearance issues with JKS Quicker Disconnects and AEV wheels?

I'm running the AEV 2.5" lift with AEV Savegre's and 315/70R17 BFG AT TA/KO's on my '12 JK. The backspacing is around 5.2" I believe.

Thanks.

Checkout the bolt pattern, the different patterns have different backspacing I believe

wierd...the AEV site and Northridge site both say 5.2" on the JK 5x5 bolt pattern...but a call to Sean at Northridge verified that the JK wheels are 4.7" and there will be absolutely no issues with these discos. they are now on order along with some other goodies.

Thanks for the help bud!!!!


edit:talked to AEV today and they said their wheels are at 5.2" backspacing and there is confusion with their vendors....idk

They are 5.2 They use to list them as 4.7 because they measured wheel width from the inside of the lip not the outside. All other wheel mfg measure from the outside. Look at the offset they list, 10mm. Calculate the wheel width and add the offset and you get 5.2. Their website is correct now.

I have some 18x9 wheels with 0 offset and 5" backspace with 325/65r18 and want to know if they will be a problem before I install them. Since AEV has 5.2 on a 8.5" wheel I am thinking my 5 on a 9" wheel should work, but everyone posts different results.
