I'm not positive but I don't think you can run 15's due to the brake caliper.

Some of the steel wheels fit, but it's tight, like 1mm clearance. The Alloys I've seen have a small ID, more metal needed to get the same strength as the steel wheel. The backspacing I think should also be kept as close to 5 inches as you possibly can to get good tire placement in the wheelwell without hitting a lot of things about you. Stock is 5 1/2 inches.

There is no real way of knowing what will work as far as 15" rims all you can do is try
IMO though is to just deal with the 16's
I found some 15" rims with 5" B/S and they cleared the breaks but NOT the steering knuckle
That is they would not go on because they were being pulled to the front and needed to go back more but could not
while most have break problems I had this and these were OE wrangler wheels
