Default All 15" wheels fit?

i just ordered a set of 15x10 american eagle series 185's, with the 5x5 bolt pattern obviously for my 07 rubicon, so im guessing these will fit ? lol i just thought that all 15" wheels will fit my rubicon so am i right?

Bolt them on...then check!

Could vary from wheel to wheel.

In my research on 15's I have found that the general consensus is that you MAY or MAY NOT need to grind your calipers with the CRAGAR brand rims. I went with Procomps series 98 soft 8 style 15x8 rims because I was unable to find anyone that had any fitment issues (no grinding). Its not guaranteed but i'll let you know in a week or two if I need to grind (on order).

All in all I think its hit or miss depending on the rim manufacturer.

15" will fit but backspacing has to be around 3.5" norm is 6.5". the wheel will be out quite a bit compared to before but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
