16" wheels on 2011 Rubicon?

I've been searching for a bit now and haven't found anything concrete. Do 16" wheels fit on a 2011 Rubicon? In looking at the front's it looks like they wouldn't (not sure if Rubi front brakes are bigger than the non-rubi's).

Discount Tire Direct has put 15 inch MB72s on a Rubicon so all 16s should work. The problem with them if you upgrade to aftermarket steering you might have issues.

The word is that 16 will fit no problem, 15 some fit some do not, some people have gone so far to grind down their calipers to fit 15s which is SCARY if you ask me

I'm sure they will.

Fit a 2007 X just fine, and no changes to brake rotors or calipers that I'm aware of.

Wheels are 16x8 Black Rock Dunes w/ 5" backspace.
