Default Will series 98 15x10 with 3.75 BS rub calipers on 2012 JKU Sahara?

I just got off the phone with a salesman from 4wd trying to order some new tires and wheels. I told him what tires I wanted ( 33x12.5x15 Duratrac), and before I even mentioned what rim I wanted (Series 98 Rock Crawler 15x10 with 3.75 BS), he was quick to tell me that they will not fit my Sahara or a Rubicon because of the larger calipers. Now, I've read various posts on various sites and it seems that this particular wheel should fit. Tires should not matter, correct? I would just like to hear from someone that has my same vehicle and has the same wheels/tires. I really like the way this combo looks and really don't want to spend much more to have to go to a 16 inch rim. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

OK, since obviously nobody has this setup, I guess I will go with 16 inch wheels. The problem is that I am really set on the duratracs and the width of the 12.5 inch tire. I cant seem to find a close enough equivalent. It seems like they are all around 11 inches. Why is this? Are there any other tires that are 33x12.5x16 that anybody can recommend?

Update: Just got my pro comp 98's 15x10 and 33x12.5x15 duratracs. Wheels fit perfectly and looks awesome. No grinding whatsoever. However, the wheels stick out a good 3 inches past the fender which looks awesome but I definitely need to order my 2.5 inch lift. I'm gonna put up some pics in the gallery in the next few days when I'm feeling better.

Here's another pic to show how far the tires stick out. I just installed the Teraflex 2.5 BB also so I will be putting a gallery up soon once I find time. Thanks for looking!
