Will this work?
I am putting a set of 15" wheels on my JK. I am taking them off of my 1978 CJ-5 and putting them on my JK. I already ordered the 1.25" wheel spacers/ adapters to make the 5 on 5.5 wheels work on my jk's 5 on 5 pattern. The main thing was I didnt take into consideration that the brake calipers on the front, will they fit in the 15" wheel? There will only be about 3/4" of the caliper inside the wheel.
Thanks in advance,
Rusty

There are quite a few threads with people running 15's on the JK's. Fitment varies from a clean fit to shaving all calipers and using spacers. As I am not running 15's I can't provide first hand experience but it would appear that wheel shape and backspacing are the most important factors. Give it a test fit once you get the spacers and be prepared to take some weight off those calipers.
