Default 15 in Rims on JK

How are you all running 15s on the JK. I thought that they required a 16 to clear the calipers. I want to hear from those of you that have them. Did you grind calipers and what rims are you running. I have an 07 Jk want to get 15s like the look and price better.

All depends on the rim, some will rub, some not. Your best bet is to test fit one if possible or ensure they can be returned if they don't fit.

A slight threadjack, nice jeep btw, but with Teflon, does it scratch off and expose the natural aluminum finish in this case or is it chemically bonded like powder coat so when it scratches, it just reveals the same color?
