Off Road Use Only: The AEV Jeep Wrangler JL/Gladiator Blacktail Beadlock wheel with the Beadlock Ring installed is DOT compliant but that does not necessarily mean that they are 50-state legal for street use. Check state and local restrictions on beadlock installation and use BEFORE ordering. Beadlock wheels must be properly installed and require routine maintenance. As a general policy, AEV recommends that beadlock wheels are used for off-road purposes only.
AEV Beadlock Tire Compatibility: Due to the inherent variances in bead thickness between different tire models/manufacturers, the Blacktail wheel is not compatible with some tires. We have confirmed that the tires listed below are compatible with this wheel. Other tire brands and models may also work but AEV only recommends using the tires listed on this chart. Tires that are not listed belowmay have a bead that is too thick for this wheel which can lead to wheel failure, vehicle damage and personal injury. AEV will be updating this list with additional tire manufacturers and models as we test them. Please contact the AEV Sales Team at (248) 926-0256 if you have any questions or concerns about tire compatibility before ordering. This advisory affects the Blacktail wheel in the functional beadlock configuration only.
- JK models: Use 0 mm offset wheels.
- JL/JT models: Use 0 mm or +25 mm offset wheels.
