Salta XD 18x9 wheels from AEV, anyone with photos?

[Elkmeat]

Hey yall, I’ve searched high and low on the web for any photos of the 18x9 AEV Salta XD wheels with a 35-ish size tire on their Ram HD and have largely struck out. Google, images, Facebook and Instagram both by name or as various hashtags that I had hoped would pull something, just haven't produced anything outside of the few images on AEV’s website.
I can find photos of them with 40’s on the AEV built rigs, but they all have the large cutout flares and I can’t adequately judge the -7 offset for how it will be on say, a regular Laramie with stock flares. Photos of original Salta “HD” are easy to find, but as 17x8.5 and with only a +27 offset, that doesn’t make for a realistic comparison. Not the end of the world and maybe I’ll just have to give them a shot and see how it turns out, just thought that since I’ve largely exhausted my own researching, I ask the community for anyone that may actually have them on their truck.
So if anyone has any photos of their own I would be beyond grateful if you would post it. TIA for any help!

You're probably not going to find many running this wheel with a 35" tire since they're designed around and spec'd with a 40" tire according to the AEV website.

Thanks for the reply. Man, I’ve tried every key word or phrase I can think of… hashtags on social, all of it haha. I try to do the maximum amount of searching before I ask the community, but here I am.

And yes, totally your point that is what AEV states as being their reason for designing that particular wheel. But as its specs out comparably to other aftermarket 18x9 wheels in offset, I figured maybe someone out there didn’t go full 40’s and went in the 35-37 range and may have something useful they could post, that’s all. AEV stated similar intentions about the original Salta HD wheel that has been out for many years, but since time has passed guys have ran them wrapped with tires of many sizes… I think in time more people will run the newer xd version with various tire sizes. Since it only became available less than a year ago, and is not everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to wheel style, is why the search results are limited.

Just putting the question out there to see if anyone may have tried the combo is all. Thanks again for the reply!

Actually they make two different sized versions. One is spec’d to run the 40” tire you mention while the other is spec’d to run smaller sizes.

Just put the rubber on them last Friday, so Salta XD 18x9 do exist on 35's and they look great. These are +20ET - Onyx on Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek LT, 35x12.50 R18, Load Range F (3970lbs per tire)

No rubbing, stick out slightly more than my old set of Salta HD 17x8.5, but not really noticeable. Pressures are 65 Front and 80 Rear (psi), interesting combo I haven't tried but the ride is surprisingly smoother than when running an E rated tire on R17, not sure what gives, but I'll take it and see how it tows.

BTW - AEV also have the black lugnut kit 32 piece to tie it all together.

Looks sexy!!!

Those look fantastic!

The 80 psi rear sounds a bit high, even given they are F's with max inflation of 95. Unless you are loaded down with cargo or towing I'd suggest trying 65-70 rear and see how it feels.
