Just by eyeballing them, it seems about that. Looks great actually, and I'm thinking that's the rears (they appear to stick out further than the fronts but that's just the way the fender flares are offset). So the 19s would stick out a half inch less than that for about an inch total difference.
Also that's with 35" MTR/Ks, 12.50" wide on 15" wheels.

Those measure about 34.25 under the Jeep. Advertised as 35's. That's why they say MTR/K runs big! I love these tires after 8000 miles. Just balance and rotate very often.

Talking about MB72 but most likely all 15" rims, to be aware - there is very little space between rim and caliper, after the weights are installed,practically none space left so the adhesive (weights) better be 110% perfect,which mine are not,all 4 wheels have very bad weights adhesive and no chance in hell they will survive(some did not survive install...)!!!!!!
I'm running into this issue. The tire shop I went to said they were having trouble balancing with sticky wights due to the closeness of the caliper with my 15" MB72 wheels. I can see one wheel had all of its weights fall off with normal street use. Just a noob question, when hitting bumps in the road, the brake caliper doesn't move at all right? What about at full turns? I might just ask them to see if sticking wights on the outside of the wheel is a possibility.
Now I see why a lot of people running 35's run a 17" wheel.
