Purchased a 07 JK 4 door.
It has the 18" factory allow wheels.

Can I run a set of 15" factory TJ wheels with the help of spacers? or will it interfer with the brakes?
 
to run the TJ wheels you would have to get an adapter to go from the TJ pattern to the JK pattern...........most 15" wheels will fit on a JK but some require grinding the caliper to fit properly. :beer:
 
Backs will clear, up front must run 3.75 backspacing, as said earlier, get some adapters, might not have to run as much backspacing with spacers

I dont think I've seen any wheel besides the Soft 8 in 15inch run on a JK.

depends on the backspacing.
but yes you can. I have a friend with a JK who runs 15" soft 8 steel wheels, with no grinding

the Soft 8's are hit and miss as far as grinding, some have to some dont, but it is very little grinding to get it to clear.

with spacers he should not have a problem clearing the calipers at all. 4-4.5in back spacing on the wheels

OP the JK pattern is 5x5 btw
