at most you may have to do a little dremelling on the brake caliper. I think that really only applies to steelies though. I haven't heard of any probs with the alloys!

What tire size are you going with?
I have 15's Pro Comps. The only thing you have to do is watch where they put the balancing weights. When I got my tires and wheels I was excited and didnt pay attention. I put them on and backed out of the driveway to see that my brake calipers stripped all of the weights and left them in my driveway.![Don't Know](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/z0tdntknw.gif)
Edit: My rims fit without trimming, it was the weights that were touching

There is also a 15" wheel section in the faq with a little more info, but this link is better.

I have american racing outlaw 2 15x8 3.75 backspacing on my 08 x model no problems here, I made sure they put the wheel weights on the inside wheel lip, and not the stick on kind that go on the inside of the wheel, I heard the wheel weights might possibly hit on the brake caliper, like the other guys post said his hit his calipers just to be safe!!

15x8 Cragar V5 in 3.75" BS. Needed to grind the caliper "forward" bracket a little (the bracket closer to the hub). No rim fit. Had to shave a 16th, TOPS. Works wonderful.
