What you want to know is: axle width, wheel width, wheel offset. With those three measures you are set to make comparisons.
I don't think 1.5" difference in axle width will be a problem in terms of what most people might want to do. Aftermarket wheels come in various offsets. I don't see a problem installing a wheel with less positive offset (protrudes outward more from vehicle) an extra 0.75" each side, in case the owner wants same overall width as Rubicon. In fact, I wouldn't mind a bit more outside "dish" on a wheel for added protection of the wheel outer surface.
