15's?

What wheels are you going to use?

35's will fit on a JK with 3" of lift, but a 15" wheel won't fit on a JK. You should probably have 4.5" of back spacing. The stock Rubi wheels are 17x7.5 with about 5" of back spacing. Look at 315/70/17 sizes for a 35" tire for your Rubi wheel.

I have a 2005 Rubicon Unlimited with 4.5 in lift and I'm running a 315x70x17 with 4.5in backspaceing and a 21mm + offset on my 17x9's. Why do you want a 15in wheel on a JK? 12.5 is a good width
