Default Need a definitive answer...Will 15" Cragar Soft 8's fit on my stock 2012 JK Unlimited

I have a stock 2012 JK Unlimited, Stock Dana 44 in back/Dana 30 in front with stock brakes.

Will 15" Cragar Soft 8's w/ 4BS clear the calipers, front and back?

Have read they will fit on some forums and read they will not on others.
Need a definitive answer so i can buy them, or not buy them.

If anyone has pictures I would appreciate seeing them.

The plan is to run 35" Goodyear MTR's on the 15" Soft 8's.

I will be going with the Rubicon Express 4.5" Extreme Duty Long Arm kit and re-gearing to 4.10.

Ya know why you can't get a definitive answer? Because there ISN'T one. Apparently there are some machining issues going on, and people are finding slight differences in the calipers and in the specific rims. You can find posts saying that a set of 15's fit perfectly on one JK, but rubbed on two out of four corners on another. Or one specific rim would fit on 3 corners, but rub only on the fourth.

How is that for 'definitive'?

If you want to be sure, (or more sure, anyway), go with a 3.75 BS.

I don't think Cragar makes a 3.75 15x8 but check out procomp series 98's I just got mine 15x8 with 3.75 BS just to be safe, but I have heard many people say they had no issues with 4" on the Cragars, good luck!

I was thinking the same.
I've seen those wheels, they're almost identical to the Soft 8.
Think I will buy one Cragar, try it on the front and back, and buy 4 more if it works out.
