Anyone successfully running Cragar Soft 8 15's?
I know black steel 15's have been shown to work in some cases, but I have also seen at least one account of some caliper interference. Anyone actually mounted Cragar soft 8 15x10's or 15x8's?

No... I have not had a chance yet. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need atleast another inch of lift. I'm going to order the M.O.R.E. 1" body lift over the next week or so and get that installed before I try it.

Yeah... I was kind of thinking about going w/ these same wheels(15X8) with a 35x12.50 or 36X12.5 w/ a 4" superlift but wasnt sure if they would fit on my unlimited rubicon, because for some reason I thought Rubicons have bigger brake rotors. Any truth to this? Or would I come out better w/ 16X8. What back spacing is recommended?

Made a visit to my local "4 Wheel Parts" store today. I'll admit that it must be challenging to work the counter in such a place (hard to know everything 4wd), but I was told that 16"soft-8s wouldn't even work. Can you possibly snap a picture or 2 that shows how close the caliper is? My guess is that the offset lessens the problem. These wheels are cheaper than spacers, get you into a wider range of tire, and sure repair more easily than the factory aluminum jobs. I want to be 100% sure before I order them and the tires to match.
Also want to verify that all JKs have the same rotors and calipers. I've got a 2-door rubicon.
