Padgett, the calipers are the same - in fact the rotors and calipers look undersized to the point of silliness inside that enormous 20 inch rim. Factory 1500 rims are either 17x7 or 20x8, with a rare 17x8 on the offroad Rebel package only - I wish there were 18s I liked with the peace of mind advantage of an OEM rim, because if I were to go for a big brake upgrade, there's a fair chance 18s would be minimum diameter needed. That's the case for Baer and Wildwood's kits for earlier Ram 1500s... Not sure of the offset/bolt circle on the Grand Cherokees, but certainly worth some research...
For now, since the big outlays of a big brake kit are impossible for some time, I'll happily swap out for a set of factory 17' alloys, even giving up an inch of rim width, which would leave my younger, canyon-racer self disgusted! ;-)
