Default How much backspacing do I need to fit 15" wheels on my '11 JK?

I found someone local selling these wheels:

They are 15" and they say they have a -27mm offset and a 3.5" backspacing. Wanted to know if anyone had any experience with these as well as 15" wheels. Thanks in advance.

Yep they will fit but make sure they are 5x5" bolt pattern. They will stick out past the fenders a bit if u run a 12.5 wide tire but some like the look.

Most 15" wheels need a 3.75" BS in order to prevent rubbing. 3.5" should work just fine.
