Icon Rebound HD - Anyone Running?

Overlander · Nov 25, 2020

Searched and don't see any PW posts... I'm leaning toward Katla's. AEV products just resonate with me and seem true to the Ram brand. Though IVD has 25% off tomorrow. They are a 13mm offset vs 25mm with the Katla's so the would be about 1/2" more proud (outboard).

Anyone running these on the PW? How do they look and fit?

Never seen em, but they look great!

Yeah, they seem to be pretty absent in the Ram world, much more presence in the Toyota overlanding community. I'm running the 2.5 remote CDCV struts/shocks on my 200 Series Land Cruiser and they're really good.

The one thing I don't like about the Rebounds is the need to clean around the faux beadlock bolt heads. The Katls's are completely smooth, easy to spray the mud off.

Haven't decided 37 or 35... just wondering what the Icon fitment would be spinning bigger rubber. That is, how will the 1/2 additional outboard offset impact clearance up front?

Coming off a +45 offset right? So you want come out 20mm? You will clear with 35s but not with the 37s.
Search “offset” and you will get a lot of threads to help you decide. But the wheel does look nice. It weighs in at 30lbs though.

30 lbs is 6 lbs less than the Katla wheel. I think any HD wheel is going to have a bit of beef to it.

It would actually be (45-13) = 32mm (or 1.26") out from stock and (27-13 )= 14mm (0.55") out farther than the Katla. 1-1/4" spacers are pretty common and don't concern me too much, though I agree it would lock me into a 35" tire size. Don't really like the idea of having to get new wheels if I were to go to 37.

You dont need to get new wheels for 37’s.

The aev wheels are a better offset. 37’s with the icon wheels will require a bit more trimming.

Here is all the rub you are gonna see with a typical 12.5” wide 37 on stock wheels. dosnt hardly even count as rubbing. All stock suspension...

The stance will be perfect no doubt. Get them. Stick with 35s

If I had the +13mm Icon Rebound wheels I'm not sure they would be compatible with 37s.

Well sure they would, but you will most likely need to do some minor trimming at the back side of the front fender opening.

Overlander · Nov 25, 2020

I guess that's the math I'm trying to figure out... how likely and how much. The +25 Katlas seem to be the perfect balance between clearing the sway in the front and rubbing against the liner/pinch weld at the back. A lower numerical offset number (further out) should push it further away from the sway but also drive it further into the liner?

Seems like what I've read is that the Katla is the 'Goldilocks' offset.

Personally speaking I can confirm that the AEV wheels have the PERFECT off-set/back spacing for the Ram trucks! Another solid choice is the CJC spec Ram wheels, I think they`re the same or nearly the same off-set as the AEV wheels....

Just my 1st hand opinion...
