What modification if any, is necessary to fit a 15 inch rim on a 2009 Sahara?

 

at most you may have to do a little dremelling on the brake caliper. I think that really only applies to steelies though. I haven't heard of any probs with the alloys!

 

What tire size are you going with?

I have 15's Pro Comps. The only thing you have to do is watch where they put the balancing weights. When I got my tires and wheels I was excited and didnt pay attention. I put them on and backed out of the driveway to see that my brake calipers stripped all of the weights and left them in my driveway.

Edit: My rims fit without trimming, it was the weights that were touching

There is also a 15" wheel section in the faq with a little more info, but this link is better.

 

I have the Unique 15in steelies and they work just fine.

 

I have american racing outlaw 2 15x8 3.75 backspacing on my 08 x model no problems here, I made sure they put the wheel weights on the inside wheel lip, and not the stick on kind that go on the inside of the wheel, I heard the wheel weights might possibly hit on the brake caliper, like the other guys post said his hit his calipers just to be safe!!

 

i have the cragar soft 8's in 15x8 and they fit fine. if one doest fit try another wheel in that spot, they are not all the same - had to do this with mine

 

15x8 Cragar V5 in 3.75" BS. Needed to grind the caliper "forward" bracket a little (the bracket closer to the hub). No rim fit. Had to shave a 16th, TOPS. Works wonderful.
