I would be a little concerned with the 15" rim. It would probably better if you went for the 16" rims.
Steel rims vary widley in production meaning someone can have a 15" steelie rub, while another person will have them rub on the caliper.
for instance, I have 16" rims and they fit, but with a lot less clearance than I had originally thought between the rim and caliper, but they fit--and they fit just fine. Now the 15" rims...well im not too sure about--I know people have some success running them, buts its hit or miss.
the rest of the specs of those wheels are just fiine.

these are the exact wheels I have, and they fit with no issues whatsoever. although I think they did rub the calipers on some of the JK's out there its a hit and miss thing.
some of the people that had them rub just grinded their calipers slightly...

2 questions:
1) how much caliper grinding are we talking about. If it's just a little thats ok i understand the whole chalk test principle but could it be enough that i might damage the caliper?
2) the rims from summit are about $38 a peice how much are the pro comps? I don't have a whole lot of money to spend.
