WJ Wheel Question

Yes I did. Im running 15x7.5 with 3.75 backspace. Barely any room but no rubbing. I had to use the weights you hammer in instead of the magnets to balance them. If you plan on ever running bigger than 33" tires I would go with 17 inch rims because it seems like you get more tire options and they are even cheaper sometimes.
 
I'm putting a Clayton 6" lift on my 2002 Jeep wj Limited. Its got 17" rims on it stock. I want to run 15" steel wheels but I'm not sure they will fit. I see that some folks say you can run a 15" wheel with 3.75 back spacing. What did you end up doing? would the fact that my WJ is a 2002 limited make a difference in the amount of back spacing I need? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm hoping to buy new rims in tires this week.
