Depends on the backspacing, I have 15's on my buggy and I had to grind the callipers to make them fit.
You have a Jeep?  That's cute.... So does Barbi.

I ran some 3 3/8 backspaced 15"wheels on the 14 bolt I had under my old blazer. It had a hd dana 44 up front, and  I had to grind the calipers on it to make the wheels work, but the rear had no clearance issues. That thing would stop on a dime!

I'd go with 17's anyway.  They seem to be new popular size rim for larger tires above 35".
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
