Talking Putting 15's on JK

Just wondering if anyone is having trouble putting 15's on Jk. Everywhere I go down here tell me that I need to stay with 16's. I see a lot of jk's with 15's and noone seems to be having any problems with brakes rubbing. Sorry if this a repeat question. New to board and jeep. Any help would be great.

I'm running Unique 252, 15 inch wheels with 3.75 BS without a problem. Brake calipers on the front come close but I have never had an issue...

do a search and you'll find lots of people running 15 wheels. alot of it has to do with the backspacing though.
