Anyone size down on wheels?

Like from a 17" to a 15" for more sidewall? Just looking for anyone who has.

You need JK brake rotors and calipers front and back and you need 3.5" backspace wheels to clear the tie rod.

There was one member here that ran 16s, but can't recall who (or what the width, offset, backspacing was).

The JL is not friendly to smaller wheels because of the brakes.
