Q: Will 15" Wheels Fit on my JK?
A: Most steel ones will fit without any problems and depending on the thickness of the wheel most aluminum ones will as well. The only thing you really need to make sure is that the wheel clears the brake calipers.

Hope this helps, there is alot of information on here reguarding this subject but you have to spend quite a bit of time on the search. i'm sure some one here will chime in with the search thing.

I have 15" Mickey Thompson Classic II's on my unlimited JK and have had no problem, they fit fine right out of the box. They have 3.3 backspacing.

Yeah......from what we've seen, it seems to vary from wheel to wheel, even in the same make and model. A little more weld here or there on one wheel over the other can make all the difference. At least you have the option of trying them on.

I have 15" crager soft 8 and they fit with a spacer. I know I know spacers are not good, but they will have to work for now.
