I just replaced the factory steel wheels with factory alloys on my 99.
and in the back the wheel studs are a bit short I thought. Did the 1999 XJs with factory alloys come with longer studs?
I still got at least 9 turns on lug nut and I torqued them to 115 just to be sure.
Anyone else notice this?
Also the hubs were real rusty and I had to use the lugs to crank the alloy wheels down over them.

Yes I put the same alloy 5 spokes on my 89 Cherokee. And the studs seemed like they wouldnt fit... But they went on and I drove 30 miles yesterday.. so everything good lol

Steel & alloy wheel use diffrent lug nuts in most cases! Could the problem ur having be caused by the lugs not fitting into the rim flush???
