I ran 10" with 33 x 12.5's and hated it from the get go; wished I would have gone with 8.5's.

It depends on the wheel. My 15x8" MB TKO's have no issue whatsover. My friends procomp 98 series have no issues. Most of them with 3.75" backspacing should be ok, but steel wheels are hit and miss. PM Discount Tire on here. They have a list of 15's that they carry that fit the JK's. They are a love hate thing in the JK world. I love the looks and at $1550 for 4 wheels and 35" tires, i have no complaints

Correct, but again, it depends what brand you go with. Different manufactures use different designs with different dimensions. Most 15" wheels will require you to grind the top of the caliper to prevent rubbing. Remember with these tight clearances it'll hold more heat too with less room for air circulation. I'd stick with a 16" wheel as minimum, it's up to you.
