Default !5 inch Mickey's on a 2008 Rubicon

I have searched and found a few posts about my question, but it all seemed to be second hand knowledge. Does anyone have this setup of 15 inch Mickey Thompson Classics II? Does this setup work without any problems on a 08 Rubi?

Browse the other ten 15" wheel threads from the past two days and you'll see that it varies JK to JK.

A wheel that fits on mine may or may not fit on yours. A wheel that fits on the rear of yours may or may not fit on the front. See the common theme here? There is a bit of slop in the tolerances of the brake calipers as they leave the factory. (or different parts, or? ) Go with a 3.75ish backspace to get them as far out as possible, and then test fit all the rims.

This is the best info that anyone has put together so far...

It should also be noted the classic II's have a very poor safety beed. So if you air down, you are much more likely to pop a beed.
