Default Dumb Noob Wheel Question

I've been searching a bit but I want to make sure.....

Will modern wheels from a Mohab wheels fit a 1999 Cherokee? Are the bolt patterns the same? How about offsets and such.

There's a set of Limited Edition MW3 JEEP WRANGLER wheels and tires on craigslist that might be perfect for my rig.

Different bolt pattern. Backspacing should be about 5.5", but that will change with whatever adapters you use.
16" Moab are 5x4.5
17" Moab are 5x5 (double check that)

There are those of us that didn't have this information and it was never listed. JK needs adapters.

Just trying to find some bigger wheel tire combos for '99 Cherokee. Lots of stuff on CL but not sure of the fitment from the older vehicles to today.

Most oem rims are not wide enough unless you like the pizza cutter tire look.And the xjs lug pattern not a lot of other things used that same lug pattern.Look at cragar d window or soft 8 they are steel come in just about any size you can want.
