Will a 15 inch steel rim like Rock Crawler Xtreme Steel Wheel or Cragar steel rims fit on a KK like it does on a KJ? Has the brake setup changed at all? Thanks.

15's will not work..... 16's or larger :(

there just isn't enough room to clear the caliper on the KK

The whole suspension/brake setup is different.

2 piston caliper on the KK.

Wondering if the caliper brackets will bolt to the KJ's knuckle...

I had 15" steel's on my ride for 1 day. (Off the old Cherokee) There was about 1/8" clearance.
Too close for comfort. Too bad, they were new tires and real aggressive. + I have 2 sets.
