No, most likely not.
2017 Wrangler

1996 Cherokee

Particularly, notice the bolt pattern:
5x127 vs. 5x114.3 (respectively)

You will require adapters to change from 5 on 4.5" to 5 on 5". SpiderTrax is one such company that makes the proper hub-centric adapters. Around $200 to do the whole vehicle.

You will need adapter/spacer to run them. I ran 2014 Rubicon wheels on my 95 XJ using adapters from 5 on 4.5 to 5 on 5 and spaced out the wheels 1.25 inches.

If I may jump in on this thread.... I would like to run those same 2014 Rubicon wheels on my 2004 Grand Cherokee with 2" lift. I believe the bolt pattern is the same but the Rubicon wheel is slightly wider. Assuming I chose a tire that is dimensionally the same as my current 255/70R16, should I expect any fitment issues, without spacers? TIA

If I had to guess... you might be okay in back, but may have slight clearance issues with hitting wheel well guards when turning full to each side.
If you try and put a more narrow tire on than the rim requires, you may run into issues there too. It messes with the aspect ratios. Puts extra stress on the sidewall of the tire.

You might ask Bugout4x4 or Cruiser54 on here. Or poke your head in on the "Wrangler" tire thread and ask. There are a number of users that actually professionally work with/around tires posting there.

Appreciate the mention, but honestly Cruiser or some the other guys would know way more than I would about exact fitment for these things. I haven't tried anything on mine past the stock alloy wheels and 235-15 so I can't for sure say what will and what won't fit these.
As for the narrower tire on a wider rim... now even I know that's not a wise idea. I've never been into it, but have read a few things from the "low-rider" and "import tuner" scene where it's popular for them to do that. Basically stretching the tires...They end up contacting the road surface with part of the sidewall of the tire so they can get the "look" they're going for, and then wonder why they end up with blowouts.

That's why I figured I'd point her in a better direction. I figured they would probably fit, especially with a 2" lift.... but wasn't sure about spacing, etc. I've got 235's on mine too and at stock height for an XJ, they actually fill out the wheel wells pretty good. Most I ever plan on putting on mine some day would be 31's. but that wouldn't be until most likely after a modest 3" lift.

The adapters space them perfectly on my MJ with 3" lift.
