Default 15 inch wheels on a 14'

Any info on installing 15 inch wheels on a 2014 rubicon? Direct bolt on or mods to calipers necessary?

Some will rub the face of the caliper. I would be very cautious about getting 15's. I like the look of 15s.....but its a big gamble.
I had procomp 15's on my 2011 and it rubbed. Scraped away a good bit of metal from the caliper too.

Most alloys fit, some steelies rub but it can vary depending on the wheel and variations in the caliper. DTD has a good thread in the sponsor section that lists what wheels fit.

As said, many alloys will work but you have to have the right offset. Stock offset will rub in many cases

Keep in mind that you won't be able to upgrade to bigger rotors down the road.

I love the look,price,and sidewall flex you get with 15's. Discount Tire Direct has some verified fits and are on this forum. Discounts to forum members too.

MB Razors went from my 07 to my 15 with no issues either time.
