33x12.5x15 Wheel Rub
I know running 15s is either a hit or miss. However, is it only the front wheels that usually rub the caliper or the back as well? I ordered mine a day ago, if they rub, whats the best way to fix it?

I don't know from experience, but the rear discs on the JK are actually larger, however I haven't really looked at the calipers to compare. If it does rub I know some people just file down the offending part of the caliper and are good to go.

There are several 15" that won't rub. You can do a quick search and make sure you order the correct ones.
In the meantime if they do rub then you can grind down the front calipers.
I have 33X12.5X15 Cooper STT on Cragars. i have included some other info from when I was researching:
These will work with no caliper rubbing.
365 Series Black V-5 Part Number: 365-5850
which is a 15x8 with 19mm offset and 3.75 bs on a 5x5 pattern
352 Series Black Street Lock "D" Window Part Number:3525850 New part number 1527550014B
which is a 15x8 with 19mm offset and 3.75 bs on a 5x5 pattern
The following will not work. The 397 Series Black Soft 8 only has 13mm offset and will cause problems with the calipers.
