Default Help Jeeps Rims Compatible?

Hi ive got a 97 jeep cherokee sport and am thinking Id like to get some of the new aluminum wheels from a jk for it, 17 inch. Pretty sure my jeep has the 5x4.5 bolt patteren. Any ideas on what years have the same pattern as Ive heard the new ones are 5x5 and I dont want to have to buy a conversion kit. Thanks!

I wanna the jk changed to 5 on 5 in 2007 the first ones were 5 on 4.5. Because I was looking into the moab rims and only some will work.

that's right, because the tj wrangler was in production from 97 to 06.
the first year of the jk wrangler was 07. all 07 and up are 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

tj rubicon came equipped with the moab rims. they are 5 on 4.5
