Default Will 17's fit over calipers?
Getting ready to lift my 07 sahara unlimited. Going from 18's to 17's. The 4x4 shop I'm using doesn't know if going down I. Wheel size will clear my calipers. I know that some saharas come with stick 17's so I would assume this shouldn't be an issue. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I might be concerned with a 4x4 shop that doesn't know if 17's will fit on a jk.
