Default I have a few questions about 15 in wheels?

After reading threw yrubuggin's 20 something page thread about running 37s on a d30 I've totally changed my mind I'm going to run 35s. I would really like to run a 15x8 steel wheel. The tires I wanna run are 35/1350/15 toyo mt. Would I have any rubbing issues with this combo if the wheels have a 3.75 bs? Also I wanna ask about tie rods i no that rock krawler and currie make heavy duty tie rods and I've heard there ends won't fit under a 15 in wheel. If I ever did bend my tie rod or wear out one of my tie rod ends could I just replace it with a stock one? And also I have a 2011 model sport are the brakes the same? Would I be able to run a 15in wheel on a new jeep like this? If I have to grind a little caliper that's no biggy. This is the combo I want to run though and I just wanna make sure everything would work before I go to buying. Thanks

Keep in mind not all 15s will fit. You might have to grind the top of the brake caliper.

I would love to run the 37s but my d30 is gonna be locked. I would rather run a 35 and not have to worry AS MUCH as I would with a 37. And where I can't go with 35s a winch will help me get the rest of the way. If my 15 in wheel combo will work with the 35s I want to run I'm pretty dead set on running them.

I'm pretty sure a 1350 will work fine with a 8in wide wheel I read somewhere that its good for when airing down because it holds a bead better. My main consern was rubbing issues with a 1350 tire. Are you running a 1250? The steel wheels I like are procomp rockkrawler 152s or unique 252s I like the beadlock look.
