Default Clearing 15" wheels?

Does anyone know if there will be any clearance issues with the calipers on a 2012 JKU if i get a set in 15" wheels. I have a guy with a set of 15" steel wheels that i can get for $50, i figure they would make a good winter wheel with a nice set of 35's on them. If anyone has an answer let me know, thanks

More than likely, yes. If they are Cragar Soft 8s, I can for sure say yes.

im pretty sure they are a set of wagon wheels, but im not positive. Yea if they dont fit i figure it would be easy enough to flip them for a profit anyway
