MY10 definitely have larger front calipers on all trim grade and engines and 16"s will be a difficult fit on these vehicles.

They can t get jeep rims and they don t know if the 16 inch will fit. gezz

I have an 09 petrol manual.
I now have 16inch procomp rims on it however i was told they wouldnt fit and they didnt but after skimming prob 5mm off with the flappy disc on the 4inch its all good.
Whack a bit of silver texture paint on and it looks standard..
