I’ve got a ‘97 2.5l SE which came stock with 15” wheels. I’ve been riding the Rubicon 16’s for years with no problems. A 2” lift certainly helped off-road, but on road, zero problems.
If I can do it, you can. However, not to be misleading, the second pic also is w/2” lift Vs stock height in the first one

Yes, but they'd look better on mine.

Something about those steel wheels I really like. I have a nice set of 16" Moabs in my garage but they are for sale because I decided I like the 15's too much.
They’ll fit fine, but some will discourage it because of tire selection . Anything 33” or under you can find a load range C, just might be a bit more pricey.
It sounds like they might be a good choice for someone who doesn't want big tires? I would still have my 15x10 American Racing wheels with 31s on them for the beach.
I got rid of mine due to tire selection. I sold my Moab with with really good mud tires for $400 then bought these JL take offs with under 500 miles on them for $800. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
But is that because you wanted big tires? Would you still get rid of them if you wanted to run 245s, 255s or 265s?
Good idea if you’re staying with smaller tires as you describe. They are a very good looking wheel. They are classic. Here are a few pics.
Moab’s with 33’s.
Moab look-a-like’s (15’s) with 35’s
As is the case increasingly for 15" wheels
You do. Here's my write up on doing it properly: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/codamans-2004-jeep-wrangler-rubicon.9347/post-789675
You also need to use the proper lug nuts. Info here: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/using-jl-wheels-on-a-tj.29878/post-798980
