Thoses are tires.
What size are your current wheels, or are you asking the maximum wheel size you can mount? (if the later you should be posting your question here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/all-lift-tire-questions-go-here-10579/)

Most of the older stock rims are 15x7. I'd go 15x8 myself, although I'm running 31's on stock rims right now. The "D" window or "Soft 8's" are on the list for the near future.

A skinnier wheel is easier on your steering components too
I went from a 15x8 wheel back to a 15x7 and was able to tell the difference all around.
