Default Will this wheel/tire fit?

Hello, I wonder if anyone can tell me if this wheel tire combo will work on my 07 JK.
15x8 with 3.75 backspacing 5 on 5 bolt pattern
32x11.5 Ground hawgs
Also, has anyone run the radial HAWGS. They advertise good milage.
I use to run bias ply directional tires a long time ago and got good highway wear if I rotated alot.
Thanks

make sure you test fit or have a professional look at it and do some measurements because those 15's just might not fit.... might want to go up to 16s just to be safe

its a caliper issue

Isn't 3.75" of BS going to make the wheels stick out an awful lot? I personally wouldn't do it. I just think wheels look a little doofy sticking out too much. Just my opinion.

yeah, cause sticking out that much the Jeep will get really dirty really easy. Flares won't do much, so going to the mall's puddles will look like you went offroading.
