Afternoon fellow Cherokee Fans, I have a bit of an issue here in Upstate, NY. I have a Toyota Tacoma that I'm forced to part with and am going to have to drive my rust free Sport for awhile on our nice salted roads up here in the Adirondacks. I have a primo set of rims and Cooper Mud Radials on the Jeep now and would really like to at least keep them out of this crap. When I bought the Tacoma in 2013 I swapped out the Wranglers that were on it for some Toyo's. So I have 4 new Goodyears sitting here that I would like to get on my Jeep. Problem: They are 16" tires. Since I'm pretty much broke right now I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to what 16" rims that I could get from a scrap yard that would bolt on or if there is any. I have 3 1/2" of lift and the Goodyears are not wide so I don't see any problems there. So, does anyone have any idea's as to what rims I might use?? That wouldn't cost a ton.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Guys

Since they're 5x4.5 - look for Dodge truck or Ford Ranger rims, which might be even easier to find in 16's than Wrangler rims, but I could be wrong...

The dodge/ranger is a good idea, and older grand cherokees had 16's with 5x4.5 if I remember correctly.

Ok Guys, I got a set of Liberty Rims for $ 40.00 a piece. Not exactly what I wanted to spend but got to get my good tires and rims off ASAP. Thanks to everyone that helped me out.

Hey if they're in good enough shape $40 a piece isn't terrible for 16's.

You can buy brand new steel wheels from jegs for $50 each. Buy a set of 5 for like $225 and get free shipping.
