Default Help with 15"s

Will I have any problems with a 15x10 back spacing 3.75 pro comp 97 rims?
and if anybody out there has a similar combination, could I see a picture of rim clearance?


1st time jeeper; pics to come soon
I wanted to see what I could do on a college budget
2 door Jeep Green soft top 4:1 manual X
2 x 12" Alpine Rs in a custom box
1100w Kenwood Amp 2 channel
Pioneer head
4" superlift with just hydro shocks
15x10 with a 3.75 back spaced Pro comp 97 Monster Mod
35x12.5x15 Pro comp AT (remember college budget and def looking for a second set of rims and tires for more aggressive trails)
I also have pictures of all the work and I was thinking about posting an article on how to build a head turner on a college budget.

Tires are in the mail so Im going to wait; but Ill accept any advice...

Alot of people have had problems with 15 inch rims......I wanted 15s but have decided to go 16............ just for saving all the headaches

You might have to 'make' the 15s fit by grinding the caliper, etc - something I defiantly was not going to do

good luck...

Do you think I could get away with wheel spacers, and is it vertical clearance or horizontal (backspacing)?
