Default What 15inch wheel fits a JK?

Hi everyone. Im new here and in need of help. im interested in finding what brand or wheel will fit my JK? Its time for me to buy some new 35's and im looking at installing a set of Km2's on my jeep with a 15 inch wheel, but ive heard from most 4 wheel parts stores that 17 inch wheels are what they recommend. reading through the forum on the other hand ive found that 15 inch wheels will fit over the JK brakes, but only a few wheels can do so.

So im asking you all if you can help me find any wheels that are 15 inch that will fit

Default 15 inch rims on 35's

Here's a pic of our jeep . These are pro comp wheels 15x9 3.75 back space no spacers required. 35 " km2's . most people recommend 17 inch rims because the brands of tires are limited in 15 " after 35's. So if you up grade to a 37 later you may not get the tire you want.Click image for larger version

4WheelParts told me that they wouldnt fit with the Brakes. But I knew from research here that with a 3.75 backspacing... they fit fine. I also use the stock tire carrier... although i think my tailgate sags when its open.

I have some 15x10 procomp 8179's. They fit fine. But like said above make sure they put the weights as far inside the rim as possible.
