slacktide -- why'd you have to grind some of your brake caliber? I know 15" wheels aren't exactly standard for the JK's as they were for the TJ's, but with 3.75" backspacing you should've been fine. I have the exact same wheels as you and I've been running them on my JK for over 15k miles and no problems with my brake calibers. I didn't have to grind them at all. So, I'm just a little curious. Safety procaution for ease of mind?

Steel wheels like those have differences in the depth of the punched out holes.
