If they are a MAXIMUM of 4" backspace, they should clear. Some people had no issues with 4", some did. I have 15x8 with a 3.75" backspace and STILL had to shave the front caliper brackets down a hair. Even if you need to grind the caliper down, who cares...anything fits with a little cutting here and there.

Nothing a case of rattle can flat black can't fix. Too much hassle trading in a vehicle just for another color, and talk about taking a loss.
I doubt Jeep will ever come out with something like that...it's too "extreme" for them.

Installed a York 206 OBA setup in the JK. Got the 206 for $30 from my friend who loves collecting parts from older AMC/Jeep. Used Off Road Only's bracket kit and Woods/JeepSwag air manifold. Check valve and oil separator from Grainger. 5 gallon air tank reserve from Sears. Used a 5,000 PSI hydraulic hose as the output form the compressor (gets VERY hot VERY fast). Steel braided, holds the pressure and heat MINT. The rest is 3/8" 300 PSI line. Run 150 PSI pressure switch. Airs the 5 gallon tank in 2:18. Airs a 35" MT/R from 9 PSI to 28 PSI in 1:32 on idle. Run my 1/2" impact with no issues and plenty of reserve on the tank for all 5 lugs. Trail repairs will be MUCH faster now. Removed the head cover and drilled/tapped for 3/8" NPT. Created and welded my own brackets for the check valve and oil separator.
I don't care what anyone says, belt driven compressors are the way to go. I've had ARB electrics, Harbor Friehgt electrics, they are NO comparison.
Total cost was $490 vs. $1,100-$1,200 from Kilby/ORO. If you can make things yourself...do it.
