Yeah, 16/17/18 are stock sizes. It's 15's that can be hit or miss, with possible contact on the brake calipers. Both 15's and 16's can also have clearance issues with aftermarket steering components and larger brake kits, which is why so many people on here recommend 17's when buying new rims. And then there is the backspace/offset issue.

Spidertrax adapters run around $200 for the standard bolt patterns, though other mfg's can be cheaper. Add the adapter cost to whatever the rims are selling for, and you may be better off just ordering new beadlocks with the correct pattern. (and the bonus of not needing to worry about maintenance on the adapters as well)

LOL, running spacers or adapters to get a deal on beadlocks....what a hassle. Not worth the time or effort IMO. If you're wanting beadlocks, it's cuz you actually use your jeep. If you actually use your jeep, it's likely you work on your jeep. Trust me, you get damn tired of all those extra nuts for spacers when pulling crap apart and putting things back together.
Buy a wheel that is appropriate and which you like and be done. It's worth the money.

I didn't look at what lug pattern those are. you need a 5x5 pattern (same as 5 x 127mm). Other than that the big thing is going to be back space. again, I've not looked at those wheels, but based on the picture I'd think the backspace is quite large. You want a 4.5" BS to run 35s, and a 3.5" BS to run 37s. Factory JK wheels are 6.25" for comparison (the larger/wider the tire, the more you need to push the wheel out away from the hub for clearance).
