I have 15x8 American Racing Baja. They clear just fine. 3.75 backspacing. Also 33x12.5x15 Mastercraft Courser MXT. No rubbing. Weights are on the inside lip of the wheel

Procomp
I took the plunge and ordered all 4 procomp series 52 as well as a set of 4 bfg km2s. (Awaiting arrival of tires) They fit but i found they have the bare minimum of space not necessarily because of the caliper clearing the sides but because the D rings are protruding into the rim that it almost scrapes the top of the caliper. To fix this i ordered a 1/4 in wheel spacer from jegs. It definitely gave me more than enough clearance but left me with too little stud space for comfort so i downsized to an 1/8 in spacer which should do the trick. And just to make sure i wasnt dumping my money i called extreme terrain and spoke to a rep and they verified that the series 52 is a direct fit to all 07-16 jks as it as listed on their site.

Dang, wish I could've chimed in before you pulled trig.
I run 15" MB Razors and am currently saving my pennies for 17's (mostly because beadlocks are stupid expensive and I'm in college). If I could've done it over again I would've went straight for 17's.
They are super hard to keep balanced. This might be due to my MTR/K's, but I've also noticed they're super spongey on the highway.
Don't plan on making any steering upgrades with those 15's. You won't have enough space; I bought a Synergy Tie Rod and had to sell it because the ends are too big. Can't do a drag link flip either. The sticky weights fit, but they might rub and make noise if not placed in the correct spot.
Best of luck.

Been running 35X 12.50 X 15 BFG KM 2's o 15 X 8 MB11 Wheels for 8 months now.
No problems with weights, or anything else. Tires are cheaper and I prefer the way a 15" wheel handles off road.

Vision 'D' Windows 15x8 3.75 BS, just test fit one and they cleared all calipers on my 2015 JKUR so I ordered 4 more. My 35x12.50x15 Mastercraft MXT's will be getting swapped onto them.
The Bart 15x10 4" BS Steel Wheels I initially purchased did not clear the calipers.
