Default Which 15x8 wheels do you recommend?
So my Jk is going to arriving in a couple months, I think i've decided i'm going to run a 15x8 aluminum wheel and a 32x11.50x15 BFG AT KO. What would be a lightweight (by truck standards) 15x8 with the proper backspacing so it doesn't rub on a stock suspension, and so it clears the calipers? Thanks. (Function>form, looks don't honestly matter wheel wise)

Take a look at this thread by Discount Tire. I'm running their 15x8 MB72s in black and have no complaints.

I have Ion Alloy 171 - they have a few different styles. backspacing might be more than other wheels but I like them and they are about as inexpensive as they come. Got mine at Canadian Tire. Fit my 2007 just fine. 33x12.5x15 Duratracs on them.

Sorry it's not a stock suspension. 2.5" TF coil lift.
