Default Advice needed will these fit and work?

Ok sorry for the newb question, but I'm kinda new to all of this. Here it goes.

I recently purchased a 2007 wrangler 4 door unlimited. I'm wanting to do a teraflex 2.5 bb. Then I'm planning on purchasing Mickey Thompson 15 x 10 side biters with Goodyear mtr Kevlar 35 x12.5 x10.

My questions are will the rims fit over the calipers (3.68 backspacing)?
Will the 2.5 bb allow for 35's with no rubbing? Don't really wanna cut my fenders since they are painted.

Thanks

hard to say for sure but, there is a chance that your wheels will NOT clear the calipers as some aluminum wheels are thick enough to be a problem. while the 2.5" lift will clear your 35" tires on pavement, you will most likely have some rubbing at a full flex on the trail. one other thing, if you plan on wheeling your jeep, you might want to get a set of 8" wide wheels instead of 10" as they will do a better job of holding your bead when aired down.

Ok, well I guess the question I need to ask is:

Does anyone have experience with 15x10 side bitters on a jk?
