Guy's, I know of a set of black 15" steel wheels off a TJ going for a good price, but not sure about:

A. will the bolt pattern match ?

B. if so, they are only 4" backspace, so will they foul the front arch when steering to full lock with 30" tyre's ?

I realise they will stick out in the region of 2" more, but I have a small lift (40mm at front) and think that might be ok for my use of the truck ..

What d'ya reakon ?

If stock TJ wheels they will not fit but it sounds like they are aftermarket with the backspacing
Bolt pattern is the same
what width are they that can be a deal breaker as well
if 7 inch you'll be fine
maybe some light rubbing but with lift should be a go

You could run them but that is wide for that size, plus you could have more rubbing due to width
