Default 17" Wranglers wheels on a Cherokee
I put a 3" Rusty's lift on my cherokee. Someone in my area has 5 17" Wrangler rims for $250. Any reason I can't put these on my Cherokee? And any recommendations for a tire size to go with the 3" lift?

Are you planning on off road? If so, how extreme?

As long as the bolt pattern matches, no problem. With a 3" lift, I would recommend 31's unless you plan on trimming.

if they are 17's i think they would be off a JK. That would mean the bolt pattern is not right for your cherokee. Sweet wheels tho. Wish I could find some 16's cheap

JK's are 5x5 . . . Too bad too . . .I'd like to run the JK rubicon wheels. $250 is a great price.

That's not what this thread is about. It's about fitting those 17"s on the XJ. Not about axle upgrades..

Aren't tires for 17" a lot more expensive then those for a 15" rim?
